Tangerine Essential Oil
|
 Botanical Name:
Citrus reticulata Blanco var tangerina
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: Pale yellow to golden yellow liquid.
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.

Sweeter citrus, smells very clean. It's not very strong, which has helped when I've blended it in products where some of the other oils are strong but need something else. It keeps the whole thing from becoming overpowering. I like it with clove and tea tree blends.

Yummy, fresh, sweet but not too sweet, citrus scent! I like this in blends when a sweet orange oil would get overpowered by other stronger scents.

This is another one of those nice, light citrus scents. No chemical smell, just a pleasant fruity scent. Can't go wrong with this stuff!

I absolutely hate fake citrus scents, but nothing to worry about with this scent! It smells just like a freshly cut tangerine! Another great selection for my in-the-works line of baby products... and for products for myself!

Tangerine is one of my favorite oils, especially mixed with pink grapefruit in a nice refreshing mist. I keep the mist in the refridgerator for an extra cooling sensation. Perfect for those hot summer days. (but be sure to use carefully or with sunscreen as they are phototoxic oils). Really nice quality and a fantastic price. I've not seen a better tangerine yet.
