Orange Peel Oil

Oranges go great in just about anything- juices, cakes, candles, jams, your favorite Chinese orange-chicken…the list goes on. Needless to say, this versatile fruit is one that can be shaped and molded into so many different forms, all meanwhile serving us with so many benefits. With this in mind, it’s likely that you’ve heard about all the dietary benefits that come along when consuming oranges and adding them into your diet…but today we are here to show you all the rewards oranges can reveal when used on our skin too! So sit back, relax, and enjoy this orange-loving ride. 

For many centuries, this oil has been celebrated for its powerful medicinal purposes in places such as India and China. Its natural ability to soothe colds, relieve coughs, and fight infection was highly valued and is still used for these purposes today. Not only that, but it is also known for its ability to reduce stress levels and alleviate restlessness. Orange peel oil not only protects us on the inside, but when used on our skin, it promotes clarity and fights inflammation, keeping our skin looking fresh and feeling clean. 

Orange peel oil comes from the rind of the delicious orange through a method called “pressing”. This process extracts the oils from the oranges, which is where the highest and strongest forms of nutrients are concentrated. The actual fruits themselves are very high in Vitamin C, but what some don't know is that the peel actually has amazing benefits as well. Studies show that within the peel of an orange, there are many anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that promote skin clarity and a fresh look!

The main component within orange peel oil is limonene. Limonene is also beneficial for our skin and health as it acts as an antioxidant for the body and reduces inflammation and bacteria build up on our skin. The high amount of limonene within the extracted oil protects against damage and reduces acne-causing bacteria. This non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) oil also has an astringent effect that helps regulate our sebum levels and control our natural oils. Orange peel oil is full of many beneficial constituents that help even out your skin tone, reduce blemishes, and support healthy collagen levels.
