Extraction

Mandarin essential oil is obtained by cold pressing the fresh peel of the unripe fruit and appears as a clear, intense green liquid with a fresh, citrusy, almost floral, and very distinctive scent.

Property

Mandarin essential oil, non-toxic and non-irritating, is an effective remedy for acne and oily skin; however, when applying it to the skin, avoid sunlight, as it is mildly phototoxic.
In the past, this essential oil was also used to combat insomnia and nervous tension.
It blends well with all citrus oils (particularly neroli) as well as with spicy oils such as cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.

Uses

Mandarin essential oil is commonly used today as a fragrance component in cosmetics, perfumery, and soap making, as well as a flavoring agent in confectionery, soft drinks, and liqueurs.

Botany

Native to southern China and brought to Europe in 1805, the mandarin is now grown primarily in Italy, Spain, Algeria, and Brazil.
It is a small evergreen tree with glossy leaves, fragrant flowers, and plump fruit.
Its name comes from the fact that its fruit was traditionally given to ancient officials of imperial China, known as "Mandarins."
