Citrus sinensis

Orange essential oil has a sweet citrus aroma similar to the peel of the fresh fruit, but more intense. Sweet orange essential oil blends well with oils from the citrus family, lavender, Myrrh and spice essential oils such as cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. 

Orange essential oil is often used in aromatherapy to clear emotions related to anxiety, anger and depression. The sweet fresh scent is very relaxing and may improve sleep quality especially when combined with lavender essential oil. Orange oil is an important ingredient used in natural skincare formulations to combat acne and oil prone skin.
