Tisserand Mandarin Organic Essential Oil 9ml

Tisserand Mandarin Organic Essential Oil is a sweet, gentle and soothing oil with a tangy citrus aroma. Ideal in massage or the bath to soothe the mind and comfort the emotions. Originally native to China and the Far East, Mandarin is now commercially cultivated in Italy, Spain, Cyprus and the Middle East. It is thought that the name Mandarin refers to the fruits popularity with the rulers of China, the Mandarins. Closer to home, Mandarins were successfully introduced to Southern Europe in the early 20th century and as they were available only through the winter months, became popular as British stocking fillers at Christmas.

When the fruit is expressed, pungent and bitter-sweet fragranced essential oil is released from the peel. This essential oil can be used in aromatherapy to ease mental fatigue and lift the spirit. It is also an effective facial cleanser, working to open pores and remove dead skin cells.
