Orange (Sweet) essential oil is expressed (or sometimes steam-distilled) from the peel of the nearly ripe fruit of the sweet orange tree (Citrus sinensis). This tree, which is smaller than the bitter orange tree, is thought to have originated from the southwest China-Burma border but is now grown throughout the world. Approximately 50 oranges produce 1 oz of Sweet Orange essential oil.

Orange (Sweet) essential oil is known as the 'smiley oil' and can help encourage feelings of happiness and warmth. It is a mentally and physically uplifting oil that is helpful for overwork and lifestyle pressure. This beautifully fragrant aromatherapy oil is also beneficial for the immune system, the lymphatic system and for settling digestive upsets.
