Sweet Orange Essential Oil (Cold Pressed)

Cold-Pressed Sunshine. Uplifting, Antimicrobial, Versatile.

Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) essential oil is cold-pressed from the outer peel of fresh oranges, preserving its full spectrum of volatile compounds. Unlike steam-distilled citrus oils, cold pressing retains the bright, true-to-fruit aroma and higher limonene content. Our sweet orange oil is standardized for limonene (85–96%) — the primary active compound with documented antimicrobial, anti-anxiety, and antioxidant properties.

Evidence-Backed Uses

• Mood & anxiety — Multiple studies show orange aroma significantly reduces anxiety and improves mood in clinical settings
• Antimicrobial — Limonene has demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against common pathogens
• Antioxidant — Significant free radical scavenging activity
• Digestive support — Traditionally used to relieve nausea, bloating, and digestive discomfort

How to Use

• Diffuse: 5–8 drops for uplifting, energizing atmosphere
• Cleaning: Add 20 drops to spray bottle with water and white vinegar
• Topical (diluted 1–2%): Blend with carrier oil for skin brightening — use FCF version for daytime use
