First of all, not only the peel, but also the leaves and flowers of the citrus fruit are used to obtain the product. The oil is obtained either by cold pressing, when parts of the plant are crushed under a large press, or by hydrodistillation, in which the juice and oil are first extracted from the fruit, and then one is separated from the other.

The finished product, depending on the processing method, has a greenish-yellow or brownish color and a pleasant, sweetish aroma.

Possible side effects

Like any other ether, orange oil should be used with great care, strictly following the recipe.

Orange essential oil is an allergen and can cause irritation, itching, and swelling. Before use, be sure to do an allergic reaction test. To do this, apply a mixture of orange and olive oil to the crook of your elbow. If after an hour no red spots, blisters or other side effects appear on the skin, then you can use products with the addition of orange ether.

If you do not follow the dosage or apply a diluted base, the product can cause skin burns.

By what signs can you distinguish high-quality orange ether?

A quality product is usually packaged in a darkened glass container with a tightly sealed lid. This aroma oil does not deteriorate for a long time.

Undiluted essential oil cannot be cheap. Unscrupulous manufacturers resort to various tricks: they add inexpensive ingredients of chemical origin and flavorings to cosmetic products. The use of this oil for massage and other cosmetic procedures is not recommended; it can be harmful to health.

You can do this simple test:

  • You need to apply a small amount of aroma oil on a clean napkin.
  • High-quality essential oils evaporate quickly, leaving no traces on the paper.
  • If a natural product is generously diluted with cheap vegetable oil, a greasy yellow stain will slowly spread out on the napkin.
  • A low-quality aroma oil, which contains a predominance of harmful substances of chemical origin, will leave behind a greasy, colorless stain.

It is recommended to purchase orange ether from well-known manufacturers who closely monitor the quality of their products.

What is the secret of essential oils?

Essential oils have a very complex and rich composition, which determines their unique properties, and they are different for each of them. Once in the body, oils essentially “force” cells to remember how they functioned in a healthy body and provoke them to self-heal. Doctors have long noticed that aromatic oils restore organ functions, normalize psychological state, enhance metabolic processes and affect appetite. It is not surprising that they are now increasingly being introduced into weight loss programs, thereby enhancing their effectiveness.
