ORANGE OIL, WILD, BELIZE

Latin Name:  Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, Brazil variety, fam. Rutaceae

Part of Plant:  Peel

Country of Origin:  Belize

Method of Production:  Expressed

 

Wild Orange essential oil, also known as Sweet Orange and sometimes just Orange oil, is usually a by-product of the juicing industry and is produced by either the steam distillation or the mechanical expression of the peels of the fruit of the Citrus sinensis tree.  These citrus trees that can come in different varieties like Navel and Valencia, are a member of the Rutaceae botanical family.  Originating around southern Asia, they are now commonly cultivated in many countries around the world.  It should not be confused with Bitter Orange essential oil (Citrus x aurantium) that is phototoxic.

 

Wild Orange essential oil with its bright, citrusy aroma, is one of the most popular essential oils and is a favorite among children.  It blends well with most other oils and is commonly used in blends to hide other less desirable aromas.  It may assist with the appearance of skin when properly diluted and applied topically.  It is also a popular addition to masculine blends, perfect for adding to a beard oil.  Try blending with Bergamot, Lemon, Tangerine, and Grapefruit for an invigorating and uplifting aroma to diffuse on a dreary winter day.  Also, consider blending with oils like Cedarwood, Lavender, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, or Vetiver and properly dilute for a calming and relaxing massage oil.

 

Usage ideas:

  • Add a few drops of essential oils to a diffuser, cotton round, or a tissue.

  • Dilute to 1% in your choice of carrier oils to make a face serum or body oil.  Apply a small amount to damp skin after washing to help seal in moisture.  

  • Add 5-15 drops to 1 oz. of your choice of carrier oils to make a massage oil.

  • Mix a few drops with an unscented liquid soap or bubble bath and add to the tub when filling. 

For convenience on the go…

  • Properly dilute with your choice of carrier oils in a roller bottle.

  • Add up to a total of 15 drops of essential oils to a personal aromatic inhaler (aroma stick).

    I have been diffusing this in the office for over a month. Everyone who comes in comments on how good it smells & asks what it is!

    Remy, my 9 year old black mouth cur and favorite walking buddy, highly recommends Dr. P's Doggie Drops! Since starting those she has a spring in her step and a smile on her face!

    Review of mobile website

    The website is pretty, visually, and it appears to be easy to navigate. My suggestion though, because it's infuriating to me, is that when I go to check out a specific oil, and read reviews on it, when I go back to shopping, it takes me back to the very first page of the essential oils. It is aggravating when I am down into the site by four or five pages and I get thrown back to the very beginning again. Anyway for you to fix this?

    I didn’t order online, but I did visit Crystal in the shop! Wow! What a wonderful experience!

    These are some of the oils that I purchased today from her, and I am absolutely pleased with their quality!

    I will definitely be returning to expand my collection from this amazing business!
