Product Introduction
Bitter orange oil is derived from the peel of the bitter orange fruit, which is known for its distinct, refreshing aroma. The oil has a warm, citrusy scent that is often used in aromatherapy for its uplifting and calming effects. Bitter orange oil is not only valued for its fragrance but also for its potential therapeutic benefits, making it a popular choice in various applications.
Production Process
The production of bitter orange oil involves cold-pressing the peel of the fruit, which allows the essential oils contained in the skin to be extracted without the use of heat. This method of extraction preserves the natural qualities of the oil, ensuring that the potent aromatic compounds remain intact. Bitter orange trees are typically grown in subtropical regions, where they flourish under specific climatic conditions.

It can also be beneficial for skin health, as it is sometimes included in skincare products for its potential soothing properties.

In a diffuser, the oil can create a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere, helping to improve focus and well-being.
