Orange Essential Oil

Our Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is cold-pressed from the fresh peels of ripe Citrus sinensis oranges grown in the sun-rich orchards of Mexico, Italy, and Spain. These regions are renowned for producing citrus fruits with high aromatic oil content, resulting in a bright, juicy, and naturally sweet essential oil prized in aromatherapy, natural skincare, and home fragrance.

Safety & Dilution Guidelines

Sweet orange essential oil is generally considered one of the gentler citrus oils, but proper use is still important.

• Recommended dilution: 1% – 3% for topical applications

• May cause skin sensitivity in some individuals

• Cold-pressed citrus oils may be mildly photosensitizing; avoid direct sun exposure on treated skin for up to 12 hours

• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes

• Perform a patch test before first use

Shelf Life & Storage

• Shelf life: Approximately 1–2 years due to the natural oxidation rate of citrus oils

• Store tightly sealed in a dark glass bottle

Refrigeration can help slow oxidation and preserve the bright aroma for longer periods.
