TISSERAND AROMATHERAPY Mandarin Citrus Reticulata Organic (9 ml / 0,3 fl. oz.)

DESCRIPTION: Originating from China and the Far East, mandarin is now grown commercially in Italy, Spain, Cyprus and the Middle East. The name "mandarin" is thought to refer to the fruit's popularity among the rulers of China - the mandarins. Closer to home, mandarins were successfully introduced to Southern Europe in the early 20th century, and as they were only available in the winter months, they became popular as British Christmas stocking fillers. When the fruit is pressed, a sharp, sweet-bitter essential oil is released from the peel. This essential oil can be used in aromatherapy to help relieve mental fatigue and lift the mood. It is also an effective facial cleanser, working to open pores and remove dead skin cells.
