Tangarine Peel Oil

Truth time. I didn’t think I was going to like this one. I’m not a big orange girl, you know. But I actually like it. It doesn’t come across as harsh but really light and sweet smelling. Super weird for something that I’m using to lull myself to sleep but it totally works.
Tangerine essential oil is extracted by cold pressing the rind of the tangerine fruit. Tangerines, which are part of the Rutaceae family, likely originated in Southeast Asia and have since spread to subtropical areas around the world.
Tangerine essential oil uses
