Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Citrus Sinensis

Sweet orange essential oil has a rich, fruity scent that lifts the spirit while providing a calming influence on the body. Orange brings peace and happiness to the mind.

Orange essential oil is rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene and aids in maintaining normal cellular regeneration. This oil is made by distilling the peel of the orange.

There are two other essential oils made from the orange tree:

Neroli - also called orange blossom oil - is made from (you guessed it) the orange flower. It is one of the most expensive essential oils.

Petit Grain is made from the twigs and leaves of the orange tree.

Used all together, Petit Grain, Neroli and Sweet Orange essential oils form a very synergistic blend.
