Tag: Tangerine essential oil

According to scientific analysis, limonene is the single most abundant compound, comprising over 70% of the essential oil composition in certain tangerine varieties. These naturally occurring molecules, known as terpenes, are responsible for the fruit's distinctively sweet and tangy citrus scent, a key factor in its widespread appeal.

Despite the fruit being a rich source of vitamin C, the extraction process for tangerine essential oil removes this water-soluble vitamin entirely. This fundamental difference between the oil and the fruit is a common point of confusion for consumers seeking natural sources of skincare benefits.
