Mandarin Essential Oil
Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) Essential Oil
Mandarin essential oil, also known as Red Mandarin oil, is a 100% pure extract obtained through steam distillation of the peel of Citrus reticulata. A variety of Tangerine, Mandarin oil is cherished for its sweet, citrusy scent and calming properties. Gentle enough for children and highly valued in aromatherapy, it is commonly used to uplift the mood, ease anxiety, and promote restful sleep.
Rich in Limonene, Mandarin essential oil offers excellent antibacterial and surface-cleansing benefits. It helps reduce inflammation, even out skin tone, and support healthy cell regeneration. Often used in massage blends to relieve muscle tension and swelling, Mandarin oil also plays a role in digestive support and stress relief. Its cooling and drying nature makes it ideal for soothing nervous tension, insomnia, and emotional imbalance.

- Aromatherapy & Mood Support: Mandarin essential oil has a sweet, calming scent that helps ease nervous tension, reduce anxiety, and lift the mood. When diffused, it creates a joyful atmosphere and supports restful sleep, making it ideal for both adults and children.
- Skin Brightening & Renewal: Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, Mandarin oil helps soothe irritated skin, support healing, and reduce the appearance of blemishes and stretch marks. It promotes healthy skin cell turnover, making it great for dull or uneven complexions.
- Digestive & Muscle Relief: Mandarin oil has traditionally been used to ease indigestion, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. Its antispasmodic and calming properties also make it excellent for massages targeting muscle fatigue, soreness, or swelling.
- Household & Natural Cleaning: With Limonene as a key compound, Mandarin oil is effective as a non-toxic surface cleanser. It brings a clean citrus aroma to DIY cleaning products, laundry, and home sprays.
Directions for Topical Use:
Dilute Mandarin essential oil (2–5%) with a carrier oil such as Jojoba or Coconut oil before applying to skin. Avoid sun exposure after use, as citrus oils can increase photosensitivity.
How to Use Mandarin Oil:
