This essential oil is a combination of sweet and juicy orange with tart and tangy twists. It is a bright, refreshing, and calming citrus oil that is highly valued for its therapeutic properties.
Green Mandarin essential oil has a unique combination of properties that make it an excellent choice for use in skin toners and cleansers. Its astringent properties help to tighten pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its antiseptic and antibacterial properties make it effective for treating acne and other skin conditions. Its antioxidant properties help to protect the skin against free radical damage, which can cause premature aging. Its balancing properties help to regulate sebum production, making it ideal for use on oily and acne-prone skin.
One of the key components of Green Mandarin essential oil is limonene, which gives the oil its antibacterial, antiviral, and expectorant qualities. However, there is some confusion about the phototoxicity of Green Mandarin essential oil, with conflicting information from different sources. According to Robert Tisserand, an expert in essential oil safety, Mandarin 'leaf' essential oil is phototoxic, but the oil cold-pressed from the 'peel' is not. There is no clear distinction of information between Green, Yellow, and Red Mandarin. However, NAHA, Aromahead Institute, and Aromaweb all indicate that "Mandarin" essential oil is not phototoxic.
Overall, Green Mandarin essential oil is a safe and effective essential oil that can be used for a wide range of therapeutic purposes. Its refreshing and calming aroma makes it an excellent choice for use in aromatherapy, while its therapeutic properties make it a valuable addition to any natural health or beauty regimen.
