Citrus sinensis essential oil is a fragrant oil extracted from the peel of sweet oranges. The sweet orange oil is highly beneficial for your skin, aiding in the reduction of aging signs like wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it effectively combats acne and diminishes the visibility of scars and spots. Moreover, this oil is abundant in antioxidants, which contribute to strengthening your immune system. In traditional medicine, sweet orange was used for aiding digestion and calming the nervous system. Unlike most essential oils obtained through steam distillation, sweet orange essential oil is extracted through cold extraction of the fruit's peel. Its composition may vary depending on the fruit's origin, but it typically contains high levels of limonene (at least 90%) along with smaller amounts of myrcene, decanal, and alpha-pinene. These active substances contribute to the oil's beneficial properties for the skin, including clearing, toning, soothing, decongesting, and cleansing.
