Orange Oil Has a Rich Fragrance and a Lively Flavor


Orange oil’s scent is rich and fruity. Think of slowly peeling open an orange and that delightful fragrance erupting from the orange skin as it is gently pulled apart.

It is uplifting to the spirit, provides a calming effect on the body, and brings happiness and peace to the mind.

If these wonderful benefits aren’t enough for you, consider that orange is rich in the antioxidant d-limonene and helps in maintaining normal cellular regeneration.

The ORAC level is approximately 18,898 (TE/L… expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter).
