Bitter orange oil

Bitter orange oil is cold-pressed from the peel of fruits grown in warm climates such as India, Spain, Sicily, Morocco, and the Caribbean. The oil is rich in active ingredients such as limonene , linalool , and citral , which are responsible for its therapeutic effects.

The flavonoids in the oil support the immune system, strengthening the body’s natural defenses. Using the oil in a diffuser during cold and flu season helps purify the air of unwanted germs.

The oil also has digestive-supporting properties, helping to alleviate indigestion, heartburn, and flatulence while regulating appetite.

Thanks to its refreshing and energizing scent, this product soothes the nervous system, helping to combat stress, tension, and anxiety. In aromatherapy, it is used to improve mood, alleviate symptoms of depression, and promote relaxation. When inhaled, its scent stimulates the mind, improves concentration, and boosts energy.

As a cosmetic ingredient, bitter orange oil has cleansing, toning, and anti-aging properties. It can be added to creams, serums, and toners, improving the condition of oily, mature, and blemish-prone skin.

Bitter orange oil is phototoxic , meaning after application to the skin, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 18 hours. The product should be used with caution, always diluted in a carrier oil to avoid irritation.
