100% Pure Tangerine Essential Oil

Sweet • Bright • Cheerful & Uplifting

Sweet, juicy, and bursting with fresh citrus character, Dreaming Earth Botanicals’ Tangerine Essential Oil is expressed from the peel of Citrus reticulata grown in the USA. Its cheerful, tangy aroma brings an instant brightness to diffuser blends, natural perfumes, soaps, body oils, and other botanical formulations.

Naturally rich in limonene, Tangerine is loved for its fresh, uplifting aromatic character. Softer and sweeter than many citrus oils, it blends beautifully with florals, woods, resins, and other citrus oils.

Description & Uses

Tangerine Essential Oil captures the joyful aroma of freshly peeled citrus. Its fragrance is sweet, fruity, and lively, with a softer character than many other citrus oils.

In aromatherapy, Tangerine is traditionally associated with uplifting and refreshing the emotional atmosphere. Diffuse it during busy days, stressful seasons, or whenever you want your surroundings to feel brighter and more welcoming.

Its cheerful fragrance also makes Tangerine an excellent choice for natural perfumery and body care. It provides a sparkling top note that pairs beautifully with florals such as Neroli, Rose, and Ylang Ylang; grounding oils such as Sandalwood and Frankincense; and warm aromas such as Patchouli and Vanilla.

When appropriately diluted, Tangerine can be incorporated into body oils, scrubs, soaps, and skincare formulations. Its light citrus character is particularly popular in products designed for oily or combination skin.

Traditional Uses: uplifting aromatherapy, emotional balance, fresh home fragrance, natural perfumery, cleansing skincare formulations, soaps, scrubs, and botanical body care.

Cautions

For external use only. Do not ingest. Always dilute appropriately before topical application.

Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Perform a patch test before topical use.

Phototoxicity varies among citrus essential oils and depends on their specific composition and processing. Tangerine is generally considered to have low phototoxic concern compared with strongly phototoxic expressed citrus oils such as Bergamot; however, follow batch-specific safety documentation and use appropriate dilution for leave-on products.

Citrus oils rich in limonene are susceptible to oxidation. Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place and avoid topical use of old or oxidized oil.

If pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or under medical care, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
