Cold-pressed from Italian orange rinds. The bright, sweet citrus oil that belongs in every collection.
This is pure Citrus sinensis. No fillers, no carrier oils, no synthetic fragrance trying to pass as the real thing. We source our sweet orange oil from Italy, where the citrus actually tastes like citrus, and cold-press it from the rinds to preserve everything that makes it smell like peeling a fresh orange.
Sweet orange is the friendliest essential oil. It blends well with almost everything, from lavender to peppermint to cedarwood. It's not as sharp as lemon, not as bitter as grapefruit. Just bright, sweet, and genuinely cheerful. Most people reach for it when they want to lift the mood in a room without anything too intense.
Why You'll Love The Sweet Orange Essential Oil
- Diffuser-ready: Add 5-10 drops to your diffuser or oil burner. The scent fills a room without overwhelming it.
- DIY skincare: Mix with a carrier oil for a brightening facial oil, or add to homemade lotions and scrubs. Orange oil is known for its clarifying properties.
- Natural cleaning: Works as a degreaser in homemade cleaning sprays. Cuts through kitchen grime and leaves behind a scent you actually want.
- Blends with everything: Pairs well with lavender for relaxation, peppermint for energy, or other citrus oils for a bright, layered scent.
- Cold-pressed from Italian citrus: Not steam-distilled, not synthetic. The real thing, from rinds that actually smell like oranges.
How to Use It
Diffusing: 5-10 drops in an ultrasonic diffuser or a few drops in a traditional oil burner with water. Topical: Always dilute first. Mix 2-3 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut work well). Cleaning: Add 10-15 drops to a spray bottle with water and white vinegar for a natural degreaser.
Goes Well With
- Soapstone Essential Oil Burner Lamp: The slow, warm way to diffuse. A tea light heats the oil gently, filling the room with scent and soft, flickering light.
- Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil: If you like sweet orange, you'll love having both. Grapefruit is brighter and more energizing. Good for building a citrus collection.
- Lavender Essential Oil: The classic pairing. Sweet orange and lavender together create something balanced: uplifting but calm. A lot of people diffuse both at bedtime.
Pure Italian citrus. 10ml of the cheerful one.
Q: Can I use this on my skin?
A: Yes, but always dilute it first. Mix 2-3 drops with a tablespoon of carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond before applying. Never use undiluted essential oils directly on skin. And because citrus oils cause photosensitivity, avoid sun exposure on that area for 12-24 hours after application.
Q: Is this safe to ingest?
A: We don't recommend ingesting essential oils. While some people do use food-grade citrus oils in cooking, our oils are formulated for aromatherapy and topical use. If you're interested in internal use, consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare provider first.
Q: How long does it last once opened?
A: Citrus oils have a shorter shelf life than some other essential oils. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Expect about 1-2 years of optimal potency once opened. If it starts to smell off or loses its brightness, it's time to replace it.
