Orange Essential Oil

Orange essential oil is liquid sunshine in a bottle, often associated with joy, warmth, connection, playfulness, and emotional openness. Cold-pressed from the peel of sweet oranges, this beloved citrus oil has been treasured for generations for its cheerful aroma and comforting presence. Its bright, vibrant scent may help ease feelings of stress, reduce mental fatigue, and encourage a more optimistic outlook. When diluted and applied topically, orange can support healthy-looking skin and add a refreshing touch to self-care rituals. Bright, welcoming, and full of warmth, Orange essential oil helps transform ordinary moments into opportunities for happiness, connection, and renewed energy.

For topical use, Orange essential oil should always be diluted with Platinum Nourishing carrier oil before applying to the skin.

• 1% dilution: about 1 drop of Orange essential oil per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil
• 2% dilution: about 2 drops per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil
  

Orange is generally considered one of the gentler citrus essential oils and is commonly used in skincare, massage, and daily wellness routines. For facial applications, sensitive skin, or first-time use, start with 1 drop per teaspoon to keep it light and comfortable. For body care and massage, 2 drops per teaspoon is suitable for most adults.

Always perform a patch test before wider use. While Sweet Orange essential oil is considered much less phototoxic than some citrus oils, it's still wise to avoid excessive sun exposure on freshly treated skin if you're unsure of your oil's extraction method.
