Tangerine Essential Oil (5 Fold)
|
 Five Fold Oils: Five Fold Citrus Essential Oils are more concentrated than the regular citrus essential oils.
Through extended distillation, turpenes are removed from the oil rendering more suitable for cosmetic applications. Similarly, the increased concentration make the essential oil fragrance much stronger - perfect for soap & candle makers!
Botanical Name: Citrus reticulata
Plant Part: Crude Peel
Extraction Method: Cold pressed
Origin: Italy
Description: The Tangerine tree was originally native to China, but is now grown predominantly in the United States and Sicily in Italy. The tree is also very similar to the Mandarin.
Color: Yellow Orange
Common Uses: Tangerine essential oil, like most of the citrus family, can be depended upon for refreshing and rejuvenating characteristics. Its aroma clears the mind and can help to eliminate emotional confusion. Aromatherapists also consider it to be very comforting, soothing and warming. Users may also see Tangerine used in perfumes, soaps, and as an antispasmodic, carminative, digestive, diuretic, sedative, stimulant (digestive and lymphatic), and tonic agent.
Consistency: Light
Note: Middle-Top
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Tangerine essential oil blends well with Basil, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Clary sage, Clove, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, Lime, Neroli, Nutmeg and Orange.
Aromatic Scent: Tangerine essential oil has the typical citrus scent – fresh, radiant, and tangy sweet. With only subtle differences, it smells a lot like the Mandarin, with some even considering them identical. In comparison to Sweet Orange, Tangerine can be seen as lighter with more candy-like tones.
History: Tangerines were originally brought to Europe and then the United States via China.
Cautions: Tangerine is similar to other essential oils in the citrus family in that it can be phototoxic. Care should be taken not to expose the skin to sunlight after a treatment. Similarly, the oil should be diluted well before use on the skin.

The smell is a perfect Tangerine and yummy. It is an orange colored oil and it will stain your skin orange if you use it as a perfume. (Yes, I loved it so much I tried to use it as a perfume!)

This is a fresh and fruity citrus. Delicious in natural cocoa butter soaps and scrubs. I love all of the 5-Fold Citrus oils ND offers. Very economical in bath and body products. Highly recommended!
