Tangerine Essential Oil


Average Product Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Based on 18 Customer Reviews)


Main Constituents:
Limonene: 92%

Botanical Name: Citrus reticulata blanco var tangerina

Plant Part: Fruit 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 its 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 Essential Oil used in perfumes, soaps, and as an antispasmodic, carminative, digestive, diuretic, sedative, stimulant (digestive and lymphatic), and tonic agent.

Consistency: Light

Note: Middle

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Basil, Bergamot, Clary Sage, Clove Bud, 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 Essential Oil 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. Avoid use during pregnancy.

I bought this EO after reading the reviews, thank you guys, very helpful, and YES, it does smell divine- out of this world- like a bag of tangerine--hmmmm -- planning on using it with the rice oil that I got for face and body massage for my clients, and made my own potion serum , added a few drops to the citrus toner and added a bit of vit C and voila, antioxidant serum :-D Love it!!!

This is one of my favorite oils. It has a sweet popping smell of peeled tangerines, great for lip balms and soaps. The smell is also very uplifting. I've also found this works much better than other oils for dreaming, using a drop or two on the top part of the bottom of the feet.

This is a nice alternative to use in place of orange essential oils. Smells just like the tangerines I use to pick in California! Quite pleasent in chapstick and blended with vanilla. Plus I love NDA's price on it!

My little Jack Russel was having a bad day. She seemed sad, almost downright gloomy. After taking a drop of Tangerine on my fingertip and rubbing it on her chest, she seemed much happier, more alert and ready to play. Thank you!

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.

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.
