100% Pure therapeutic grade essential oil

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) a small evergreen tree with glossy leaves, and fragrant flowers that bear citrus fruit. It is considered the “true mandarin” . The tree is native to southern China and the Far East and grows about 15 to 25 feet in height. The tangerine is larger than the mandarin with a yellower skin. The tangerine is produced in Texas, Florida, California, and Guinea. The tangerine and Mandarin grows from the same tree. The Tangerine is harvested in November, and the Mandarin is harvested in February. The essential oil is created by cold-pressing the peel of the fruit, resulting in a sweet, citrusy, orange-like aroma. It is an orange, mobile liquid.

Rich with sedative and relaxant properties, Tangerine is a mood enhancer, and can help bring comfort to mind body and spirit. It can help with insomnia, digestive issues like flatulence, constipation or diarrhea.

Tangerine blends well with Nutmeg, Neroli, Cinnamon, Clove, Palmarosa, Lemon, Frankincense, Geranium, Basil, Black pepper, Helichrysum, Roman and German chamomile, Patchouli, Ylang ylang, and a host of other oils. Tangerine can be a dermal irritant for people with sensitive skin. Conduct a patch test using a carrier oil prior to applying to skin. It can also be photo-toxic.
