The scent is warming, sweet and fruity, and is often described as the most child-friendly citrus oil. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Nobilis\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is cold-pressed from the peel of the tangerine. The color is yellow to orange and the scent is round, soft and sweet, without the sharp undertone of lemon, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil naturally contains a high percentage of limonene, in addition to smaller amounts of gamma-terpinene, alpha-pinene, myrcene, and methyl methylanthranilate. The latter molecule is responsible for the typically sweet, almost floral underlayer of mandarin that you don't find in other citrus oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandarin blends beautifully with other citrus oils such as sweet orange and bergamot, with floral oils such as lavender, chamomile, ylang ylang and neroli, and with woody oils such as sandalwood and cedarwood. It is a popular top note in gentle, calming blends, especially for children and sensitive people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Mandarin Essential Oil made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandarin Essential Oil is extracted by cold pressing. The tangerine peels are mechanically compressed, causing the oil glands in the peel to burst open and the essential oil to be released. Because no heat is involved, the natural aroma molecules are optimally preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike cold-pressed lemon, bergamot or lime, mandarin naturally contains hardly any furocoumarins. Therefore, mandarin, even in cold-pressed form, is not phototoxic. This is an exception within the citrus family and makes mandarin particularly versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Mandarin Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot phototoxic, not cold-pressed either\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike most other cold-pressed citrus oils, mandarin is naturally free of phototoxic furocoumarins.

Sweet orange is brighter, fresher and more playful. Mandarin is softer, rounder and has a calming effect that sweet orange does not. Both are non-phototoxic and suitable for day care. For an uplifting, fresher product, choose orange. For a softer, calming product, choose mandarin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is special about mandarin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandarin is a sensitive fruit that must be picked carefully and by hand. It is therefore not surprising that the essential oil fits so well with the highly sensitive, easily overstimulated person. Mandarins have a rich tradition in Chinese, Indian and European herbal medicine. Through aromatherapy you can make use of the effect of this special fruit in an accessible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips for Using Mandarin Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the oil in a cool, dark place. Citrus oils are more susceptible to oxidation than other essential oils, and proper storage significantly extends their shelf life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways close the bottle tightly after use. Contact with air can cause the oil to lose its fragrance and effect more quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest on a small area of skin before using the oil for the first time, especially if you have sensitive skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways work with grams and percentages, not drops. Droplets vary in size and make it difficult to stay within safe limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoints of attention and side effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandarin Essential Oil is not phototoxic and can therefore be used for sunlight without restriction. However, it remains important to always use the oil diluted, never pure on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur practical working dose: 1 percent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor homemade care, we recommend a dosage of 1 percent (1 gram per 100 grams of product). Citrus oils naturally contain allergens such as limonene and linalool. When you combine multiple essential oils in one recipe, these allergens accumulate and you can quickly exceed the legal allergen limits. A working dose of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without going over those limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, longer maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert. Keep out of reach of children. When in doubt or with sensitive skin, always test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Heroes","offers":[{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":53165529235799,"sku":"MAEO-NH-1","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 ml","offer_id":53165529268567,"sku":"MAEO-NH-2","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ml","offer_id":53165529301335,"sku":"MAEO-NH-SAMPLE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/5214\/4215\/files\/247-bottle-b-10-1KSQ-sRGB.png?v=1774934764","url":"https:\/\/alhalalcosmetics.nl\/en-us\/products\/mandarin-essential-oil","provider":"Halal Cosmetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
