The scent of Sweet Orange oil is pure, simple happiness. It's that bright, juicy, and sweet aroma that fills the room when you peel a perfectly ripe orange. It’s an almost universally loved fragrance, known for its ability to instantly lift the spirits and create a feeling of cheerful well-being.
We use a specific type called '10-fold' Sweet Orange. This means the oil has been re-distilled after its initial pressing. This process concentrates the aromatic components while removing some of the less stable compounds. The result is an oil that is more aromatically potent and significantly more stable in soap, meaning the bright, happy scent won't fade away.
In aromatherapy, Sweet Orange is a star player for easing anxiety and stress. Its bright, sunny disposition helps to calm a worried mind and encourage a more positive, relaxed outlook. It’s the perfect scent for a morning shower to start your day with a smile, or in a lotion to carry a bit of sunshine with you.
While still a citrus oil, the 10-fold distillation process reduces the compounds that can cause photosensitivity. We formulate with this in mind, using it at safe concentrations to bring you all of the joy and none of the worry. It's a simple, beautiful, and hard-working oil that brings a little bit of happiness to every batch.
