INCI: Citrus unshiu

Escentia Naartjie Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient citrus essential oil from Citrus unshiu , also known as true Mandarin. It has a fresh, sweet aroma with a naturally calming character, making it a lovely choice for aromatherapy, room fragrancing, and diluted body blends. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or perfume. Cold expressed from the outer peel of the fruit and sourced from South Africa, it brings a distinctly bright local citrus note to custom blends.

♡ Why we love it: This is such a cheerful, easy-to-love citrus oil with a softer, sweeter profile than many sharper citrus scents. It feels uplifting without being loud, and it works beautifully in diffuser blends, body oils, and more comforting evening-style aromatherapy.
