Product description:

The sweet, fresh, citrus scent of Mandarin Essential Oil is reputed to relax the mind and inspire a sense of calm in the body with its uplifting quality. Reminiscent of sweet oranges, it blends well with all other oils in the citrus family, namely Orange, Lemon, Lime, and Grapefruit. It can also blend as successfully with floral oils, including Rose and Jasmine, as well as with spice oils, such as Black Pepper, Nutmeg, and Clove Bud. The sedative quality of its aroma is believed to help reduce the likelihood of experiencing panic for those who suffer from nervous afflictions. When applied topically, the brightening and balancing qualities of this skin-loving oil are believed to promote younger-looking skin through its reputed ability to reduce the appearance of blemishes as well as cracking caused by dryness.
