Sweet Orange Organic Essential Oil

Our organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil comes from the peels of gorgeous ripe Citrus sinensis, grown in orchards in sunny South Africa. The rejuvenating citrus scent of Sweet Orange Essential Oil is versatile and blends well with other citrus essential oils and oils in the mint, floral, wood, herbaceous and spice families.

The most abundant phytochemical in Sweet Orange Oil is d-limonene (above 90%). This monoterpene compound with proven anti-tumor function is responsible for most of the beneficial properties of Orange Essential Oil.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.
