Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Product: Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Buzz: Orange essential oil is a thin clear oil extracted from orange peels. It has a rich fruity scent with a calming influence that inspires joy. It is rich in antioxidants and is said to aid in cell regeneration.

Initial Impressions: Pale yellow thin liquid that comes in a small glass bottle with a built in dropper. It has a delightful aroma.

How to: Apply to skin after a base of carrier oil (rose hip oil, jojoba...) or dilute with carrier oil 1:1 before applying.

Review: I have been using this product for six months. The orange oil has a clarifying effect to give my skin a healthy glow and it is effective for preventing acne. By using natural products I have eliminated the effects of skin sensitives from commercial skin care additives, greatly improving the overall health and integrity of my skin. My skin feels more dense, healthy and luminous.

Cautions: Sun sensitivity - avoid direct sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying product.

Cost: $10-$15 (15 ml)

Available: Health food stores or on-line

Compatible Products: Rose hip oil, colostrum cream, bee propolis extract.
