FAQs

What is Bitter Orange Organic Essential Oil made from, and where does it come from?
It is Citrus aurantium from the Rutaceae family, obtained from the fruits of the tree. The oil is certified organic and comes from Egypt. The plant is cultivated from wild growing plants.
What does this bitter orange oil smell like?
It has a fresh, slightly sweet citrus aroma. The main compounds include limonene, myrcene and sabinene, with smaller amounts of octanal, decanal, nonal and linalyl acetate. That gives it a bright, clean character rather than a heavy one.
How is Bitter Orange Oil commonly used around the home?
It is often used in a diffuser to add a cheerful atmosphere to a room. It is also suitable for a child's playroom or before sleep when a calmer mood is wanted. Blending it with Clove or Cinnamon creates a warm, spicy, wintery scent.
Is there anything I should be careful about with this oil?
Yes, do not use it on the skin before exposure to sunlight. That is the main safety point to keep in mind with this oil. If you are planning any skin use, avoid sun exposure afterwards.
How long does it keep once I have bought it?
Unopened, it has a shelf life of 24 months. Once opened, it should be used within 12 months. Keeping it tightly closed will help preserve the aroma.
