Orange Essential Oil

Herbology Orange Essential Oil is 100% pure, therapeutic grade Citrus sinensis (Sweet Orange) peel oil, cold pressed from the outer peel of fresh sweet oranges, one of the most widely cultivated and universally beloved fruits in the world. Sweet orange has been cultivated in South and East Asia for over 4,500 years and was introduced to Europe by Portuguese traders in the 15th century, where it quickly became one of the most prized aromatic and medicinal botanicals of the Renaissance. Its bright, sweet, intensely citrusy aroma is one of the most universally uplifting and mood enhancing scents in the botanical world, making Orange Essential Oil one of the most popular and versatile essential oils in aromatherapy, skin care, and natural fragrance.

Orange Essential Oil's primary active compound is d limonene, typically comprising 90 to 95% of the oil, making it one of the highest limonene content essential oils available. D limonene is one of the most extensively studied natural compounds in modern pharmacology, with documented antioxidant, anti inflammatory, antimicrobial, and mood enhancing properties. Its antioxidant action protects skin cells from free radical damage and supports a brighter, more even complexion. Its antimicrobial properties support skin clarity and help address acne causing bacteria. Its documented anxiolytic and mood lifting effects in aromatherapy are among the most well established of any essential oil, with multiple clinical studies confirming its ability to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote a sense of wellbeing. Its natural alpha pinene and myrcene content contribute additional anti inflammatory and relaxing properties. On skin, its limonene content supports collagen synthesis and skin brightening. On hair, its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties support scalp health and add a natural shine. Note: Orange Essential Oil is phototoxic when applied to skin exposed to sunlight. Always apply at night or ensure skin is not exposed to UV light for at least 12 hours after application.
