Discover our Sweet Orange Essential Oil 100% Organic and Handcrafted
The Sweet Orange is the fruit of a small fruit tree with evergreen foliage and abundant star-shaped flowers. It belongs to the Rutaceae family (which produces citrus fruits) and can reach 10m in height. Native to Southeast Asia, it was only introduced by the Arabs to North Africa, Spain and Italy in the 15th century. This tree thrives in the sunny regions of Southern Europe. The fruit is harvested in winter, and the peel is then distilled to extract the essence.
Rich in limonene, Sweet Orange Essence is known, like Mandarin Essence, for its soothing virtues, which promote sleep, relieve anxiety and purify the air.
