A vital ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine, mandarin oil has been used for thousands of years. Mandarin oil is commonly considered the most calming and sweetest citrus essential oil. Mandarin oil is known to be mild and imbibed with healing properties that help diminish scars, minimize stress, eliminate age spots, and reduce acne. Mandarin oil even relieves gas, stimulates the lymphatic system, and acts as an antispasmodic, digestive, antiseptic, sedative, nervous relaxant, and tonic substance. Mandarins are quite closely related to tangerines with slight differences in colour. The mandarin oil market is directly linked to the growth in the cosmetics, food & beverage, and toiletries industries as mandarin oil finds application in all of these.
