Our Green Mandarin essential oil has a bright and tart aroma that penetrates the senses and energizes the mind. While the peels of the ripened mandarin fruit create Red Mandarin essential oil, the peels of the unripen fruit create Green Mandarin essential oil. You may even notice your mouth start watering as you inhale it, hinting at the oil's ability to stimulate and balance the digestive system.
Green Mandarin essential oil is commonly used to promote healthy cell production, cardiovascular health, immune support, and to soothe the nervous system.
Emotionally, this inspiring oil can clear out depression and stagnation (like many citrus oils), while promoting feelings of connectedness, safety, playfulness, and strength.
Note: Although it is NOT phototoxic, Green Mandarin essential oil can be skin irritating. Always dilute before topical application, and avoid sensitive areas.
