Clementines are small, sweet fruits grown by crossing the mandarin and the sweet orange. Commercially available clementines are usually seedless, with a thin, easily peeled skin. Our clementine oil is cold-pressed from the rind of citrus nobilis fruits grown in Italy.
Common Uses:
Clementine is an uplifting, revitalizing essential oil. Diffuse or mix into a blend for topical application.
Aromatic Scent:
Clementine Essential Oil has a fresh, crisp citrus aroma
History:
In ancient times, Clementines were referred to as the crown jewels of the mandarin family. The clergyman Pierre Clement is credited with crossing a mandarin and an orange. This coupling resulted in a seedless mandarin with a looser skin that was easier to peel.
Cautions:
Clementine essential oil, like most citrus oils, contains significant levels of natural chemicals (furanocoumarins) which can cause phototoxicity. Avoid direct sunlight after using clementine topically.
Avoid use during pregnancy.
