Tangerine Essential Oil

INCI Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil

Overview

A sweet, bright essential oil cold-pressed from tangerine peel.

What it is

Tangerine Essential Oil is pressed from the peel of the tangerine, a close relative of the mandarin orange. It carries a sweet, bright, slightly softer citrus character than orange.

Where it comes from and how it’s made

Tangerines are grown widely across warm, subtropical regions worldwide. The oil is cold-pressed from the peel.

What it does in a formulation

Contributes a sweet, bright citrus note to a finished product’s scent profile.

Why Lovebee uses it

Tangerine has such a soft, sweet brightness — a little gentler than orange, and we like it in blends that want a citrus note with a bit more warmth.

Good to know

Used throughout our blended topical products; sold on its own as a single-note oil, it’s intended for diffuser use only.

Common questions

What does Tangerine Essential Oil smell like?

Sweet and bright, softer than sweet orange.

Is Tangerine the same as Mandarin?

They’re closely related citrus fruits, often used interchangeably in fragrance work.

Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?

Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it’s intended for diffuser use only. You’ll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.
