Organic Green Mandarin Essential Oil Mandarin can be compared to a small, slightly flattened orange. It is more particularly cultivated in the Mediterranean basin but also in the United States. Mandarin is a very popular fruit but also has therapeutic properties. Mandarin essential oil is characterized by its yellow-orange color and its fruity, sweet smell appreciated by children. The fragrance is very close to that of fruit, both fresh and sweet, with characteristic orange and tangy notes.

Its fragrance is powerful, deliciously sweet, lemony and embellished with a delicate floral note. It goes well with basil, bergamot, lavender and other citrus fruits.

Great oil of the nervous system, mandarin is a powerful calming and relaxing. Ideal to eliminate stress, anxieties and to prepare for a restful sleep, it is used in diffusion or massage along the spine.

It also has a tonic action on the digestive system. This oil is very gentle on the skin and its sweet, floral scent is particularly appreciated by children.

At the beginning of autumn, the mandarin is initially green where the pericarp is rich in chlorophyll. As autumn advances and winter approaches, the temperature difference between day and night increases and the chlorophyll gradually disappears.

It is thanks to this phenomenon that mandarins take their orange color through yellow. These three colors are therefore not due to a difference in variety since all mandarins come from Citrus reticulata Blanco.

It is therefore according to the stage of maturity of the fruits that we can distinguish the 3 types of mandarin essential oils :
- Green mandarin essence (unripe zest)
- Yellow mandarin essence (riper zest)
- Red mandarin essence (ripe zest)

  Each of these essences has a particular color and smell, but the properties and precautions remain the same.
