Aromatherapy Properties: (Citrus reticulata) Tangerine is composed predominantly of monoterpene hydrocarbons, with limonene typically making up 90% or more of its profile. This high limonene content gives it a bright, uplifting citrus character. Like most expressed citrus oils, it is light-bodied and volatile, meaning it moves quickly through the top notes of a blend. Its simple chemistry makes it one of the gentler citrus oils, though all expressed citrus oils should be used with awareness around sun-exposed skin due to potential photosensitivity from trace furanocoumarin content.
Suggested Use: Add a few drops of this tangy citrus scent to dishwasher soap to give the kitchen a bright scent. It is also great to add in cleaning recipes.
Tangerine helps boost energy, clear the mind, and lighten stress.
Specific Safety Information: Not for internal use. Dilute properly with topical use. Citrus essential oils are light and should be stored away from sun, heat, and air. Oxidized oils can cause skin irritation. Certain essential oils can be contraindicated wit certain medical conditions. Ask your doctor if you have any questions before use.
