WHAT IS SWEET ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL?
The most prominent characteristic of sweet orange essential oil is its vibrant and citrusy fragrance. The aroma is primarily attributed to limonene, a major component of the oil, which is known for its ability to uplift the mood of a space.
Oranges are said to represent good fortune in China, and as such, it was eventually cultivated by the wealthy, who planted their own trees in private "orangeries." Orange is widely regarded as the world's oldest and most popular tree fruit and they remain an important part of traditional procedures.
Unlike most essential oils, which are extracted through steam distillation, most citrus oils, including Sweet Orange Oil, are extracted by cold pressing the orange rinds. A steam-distilled variation is occasionally available on the market, but it is quite rare.
