The amazing qualities of Organic Pure Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Our Organic Pure Sweet Orange Essential Oil from Brazil is a strengthening, refreshing and stimulating essential oil. It is uplifting for the emotions and helpful in maintaining a healthy circulatory system and encouraging healthy digestion. 

Organic Pure Sweet Orange Essential Oil is extracted from the rind of the sweet orange, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis. This is done by a method called cold pressing, which uses pressure to squeeze the oils from the rind. Sometimes, the leaves and flowers from the orange plant can be used as well.

There are so many ways to use Organic Pure Sweet Orange Essential Oil as part of your routine. Tips & Tricks on how to use:

Safety: It is phototoxic, therefore avoid exposing skin to sunlight 12 hours after use.

There are some family members and our pets that may need oils to be more diluted. 

Babies and young children, pregnant and breast-feeding mothers, the frail and the elderly. Topical applications need to be at much lower dilutions, as low a 1% (1 drop in 10ml of carrier oil) and not all essential oils are recommended. This oil can be used safely. 

Please see our faq here and if you unsure always take advise from a clinical aromatherapist for best practise.
