The Young at Heart

  Tangerine, Citrus madarosis, originated in China and the Far East, as the mandarin orange.  Citrus reticulata came to the West in the early 1800’s.  When mandarin orange trees came to America, it became known as the tangerine.  Today’s tangerine is larger and more aromatic.  True mandarin essential oil is very sweet and floral.  The essential oil of mandarin is non-toxic.  It can enhance calmness. Essential oil is produced by cold pressing the outer skin.  An orange- colored oil is produced, which must be refrigerated after opening.

Tangerine is an uplifting aroma used in skincare and haircare. It is enjoyed by many for centuries.
