BENEFIT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gentle Uplift

    Its sweet, tangy brightness may help support a lighter mood without the sharpness of stronger citrus oils.
  • Calm Within the Freshness

    Mandarin is traditionally the softest of the citrus family, often used in aromatherapy to promote a sense of ease and settled calm.
  • Sunshine Without the Warning

    Unlike most expressed citrus oils, mandarin is not classed as phototoxic, so it fits comfortably into daytime skincare rituals.

The Fruit of the Mandarins

Harvested early, when the peel is still green and the aroma at its freshest.

Mandarin travelled from southern China along ancient trade routes, taking its name from the robes of imperial officials.

Green mandarin comes from the earliest harvest, when the fruit is still unripe and the peel a deep green.

That early picking gives a fresher, greener, less sugary oil than the red mandarin pressed from fully ripened fruit.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • For skin use, dilute to 2-3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.

  • Children

Keep out of reach of children; mandarin is generally regarded as one of the gentler citrus oils, but for children over 3 use only at very low dilution and consult a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pregnancy

If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use.

  • Pets

Keep away from pets; this oil is high in limonene, which is of particular concern for cats. Diffuse only in ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.

  • Photosensitivity

Mandarin is not generally classified as phototoxic, unlike bergamot, lime, lemon and bitter orange, because it contains very little furocoumarin. Confirm against your supplier documentation, and take normal care with any expressed citrus oil on sun-exposed skin.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; citrus oils are limonene-rich, oxidise readily, and are best used within about 12 months of opening.
