Aromatic Description:  A sweet citrus aroma

While most essential oils are obtained by steam distillation, orange peel essential oil (and the peel essential oils of other citrus varieties) is obtained by cold pressing. When you peel an orange, you feel small droplets emanating from its peel and an orange flavor coming out at the same time. What you feel is actually the essential oil found in the peel of the orange.

The exact origin of the plant, whose botanical name is Citrus sinensis, from which sweet orange peel oil is obtained, is unknown as it does not grow wild anywhere in the world. However, botanists believe it is a natural hybrid of Pummelo (C. maxima) and Mandarin (C. reticulata) plants and originated between southwest China and the Himalayas.

According to historical sources, in 800 AD, oranges were introduced to East Africa and the Middle East by Arab traders and later distributed around the world via trade routes. In the 15th century, Portuguese travelers brought sweet oranges from China to the forested regions of West Africa and to Europe. In 1450, Italian traders introduced the orange to the Mediterranean region. In 1493, Christopher Columbus carried the orange seeds during his voyage to the Americas and eventually delivered them to Haiti and the Caribbean. Later, it was started to be grown by the rich in their own “oranges”. The orange has come to be known as the world's oldest and most widely cultivated tree fruit.

Orange oil has been used in traditional medicinal practices for thousands of years. In China, oranges are believed to symbolize good luck and therefore remain an important feature of traditional medicinal practices.

Industrially, orange peel oil is used in the production of cosmetic and cleaning products such as soap, cream, lotion, deodorant, air freshener.

Orange peel oil offers many benefits thanks to the active ingredients it contains.
