Mandarin & Sicilian Bergamot

Mandarin oil is clean and zesty and is believed to inspire positive energy as well as improving mood and restoring equilibrium. It is said to help relieve stress and restlessness as well as improving circulation and maintaining water balance in the skin.

Native to China, Mandarins are harvested early in February whilst still yellow and through cold compression the oil is extracted from the fresh peel. The mandarin had a place in ancient Chinese history as they were often given as gifts to the ‘Mandarins’ (the name given to members of the royal household).

Our bergamot oil sourced from Sicily is extracted from the peel of a small green citrus fruit that is a cross between an orange and a grapefruit. The name originates from the city of Bergamo in Italy where the oil was first traded and has been used in Italian folk medicine for many years.

Often known as ‘the sunshine oil’ it has an uplifting, refreshing scent with balsamic undertones. It is naturally calming, promoting confidence and clarity of thought.

This light, refreshing and fruity blend is a great way to start the day, perfect for your morning shower or a reviving early evening bath.
