Blood Orange Essential Oil

Freshly pressed Blood Orange Oil is known for its qualities of deep moisturizing and plumping the skin. Its Vitamin C rich properties also help exfoliate and brighten the skin tone.

The Blood Orange is a variety of sweet orange, also known as Citrus sinensis. The name Blood Orange indicates its blood-red colored pulp inside the fruit. The chemical constituents in the fruit’s essential oil are antiseptic and healing in nature, and its red pigment, anthocyanin, is an antioxidant that is rare to find in the fruits of the rest of the citrus family.

Blood Orange Essential Oil Ayurvedic Uses & Benefits

In Ayurveda, Blood Orange Essential Oil is well known for its beneficial properties when applied to the skin. It stimulates the lymphatic system, aids in eliminating toxins, and improves blood circulation. Apart from its detoxifying properties, it also acts as a natural skin energizer as the oil has the tendency of penetrating deeply into the skin’s pores and thereby supports the formation of collagen, which then results in skin that is soft, smooth and plump. Because of its antioxidant properties, it slows the rate of skin damage experienced from UV exposure and pollution.

These exceptional skin enhancing properties help in reducing wrinkles or fine lines, balance excess oil, and encourages skin that is even-toned, healthy and glowing. The warm, fresh and citrus aroma of the Blood Orange essential oil is invigorating yet calming and therefore its aroma helps in reducing stress and anxiety.
