Sweet Wild Orange Oil (Citrus Sinensis)

Citrus sinensis

Sweet wild orange oil has a sparkling, acidulous scent that immediately lifts the spirits and gives a delicious scent to products designed for use on the lips. On the skin, it can give complexions a plump, fresh appearance.

Sweet orange trees have glossy, evergreen leaves and thorny branches. They grow fragrant flowers that, once pollinated, turn into a juicy, orange-colored fruit. Like all citrus fruits, the leathery outer rind is filled with essential oil glands.

The main constituent of sweet orange oil is limonene, a zesty aromatic compound. Citrus scents are often considered uplifting and refreshing, but the added sweetness of sweet wild orange can leave you feeling relaxed to boot!
