Traveling to an exotic location for the very first time and embracing a culture completely different from your own — these are the experiences that often shape our lives. Mandarin is the exotic essential oil that makes you rethink your possibilities.

It has a sweet, green and citrusy aroma. Mandarin can inspire pure relaxation. Majestic in its ability to intoxicate the sense, Mandarin can calm anxious minds.

Native to China, Mandarin was given its name by the English because of the color Chinese officials once wore. The small evergreen trees which produces the rich fruit with yellow to deep orange rinds were first brought to the United States in the mid 1800s.

Today, Mandarin trees are primarily grown in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida with some cultivated in Georgia, Texas and California. The peel of the orange is put through a cold pressed method to extract the essential oil which has a thin yellow consistency and blends exquisitely well with Ginger and other delightful citruses.

Contains gamma-terpinene, a constituent that acts as a preservative in most carrier oils.
