Formulation note
Sweet orange essential oil is chosen for the way it lifts richer botanical formulas while contributing naturally occurring citrus compounds such as limonene. These compounds are studied for antioxidant and skin-comfort pathways, making sweet orange more than a simple fragrance note.

In body-care formulas, sweet orange helps balance heavier oils and butters so the finished product feels brighter, fresher and more enjoyable to use. Its cheerful citrus profile also supports a sense of clean, energising skin care, especially in formulas designed for everyday body nourishment.

Essential oils are potent. Use only at appropriate dilution levels and as directed. Avoid eyes, broken skin and internal use.
