The Sweet Orange, or Citrus Sinensis group, includes sweet, blood, naval, and common oranges. These orange trees are essential in agriculture, with each part of the tree being put to use. The aromatic rind is where Sweet Orange Oil is extracted, through the method of cold-pressing. Orange blossoms are ingredients in orange water, tea, and perfume. They also contribute to the production of orange blossom honey. Orange tree leaves also go into certain teas, and the wood provides products such as grilling blocks and manicure tools, among other items.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown

Sweet Orange Essential Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes

There are numerous Sweet Orange Essential Oil uses, spreading out across many different industries. While very popular in Aromatherapy, you will also see orange oil in furniture polish and household cleaners, as well as in commercial flavorings and fragrances. 

Fragrance

Perfumes are categorically classified by a system put into place by famous perfumer George William Septimus Piesse. He devised a way to compare fragrance aromas to musical notes, placing them into three categories: top, middle (or heart), and base. His book, The Art of Perfumery—published in the 1850s—is still commonly used today. 

Sweet Orange Oil falls under the classification of a “top note.” Top notes are the first scent you notice when smelling a fragrance, and they are also the first to dissipate. This doesn’t lessen their importance though, as it is the job of a top note to bring attention to a fragrance. Sweet Orange is prevalent in many designer perfumes due to its sweet, uplifting aroma.

Skincare Products & Soap Making

These two are the significant ones among tons of Sweet Orange Essential Oil uses. Due to their many uses, Sweet Oranges are one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world. Because of this, their chemical composition has been the subject of many studies. In addition to showing effectiveness as an antibacterial agent, Sweet Orange Oil also shows promising indications of being able to treat acne. This oil is full of antioxidants, and you can find it in many common skincare products such as lotions, creams, and soaps. 

Natural soaps are becoming increasingly popular as consumers become aware of the parabens and sulfates in many commercial products. Artisan soap makers are using essential oils—such as Sweet Orange—to create beautiful smelling, clean soaps as an alternative option. The organic soap market is forecast to register a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.2% between the years 2020-2025, indicating the high level of demand for these products.

Aromatherapy

Multiple studies show the inhalation of sweet orange oil can decrease feelings of anxiety and depression while increasing feelings of comfort, relaxation, and contentment. This makes it a favorite in the world of Aromatherapy.

Similar to the organic soap market, the Aromatherapy market is forecast to hit a CAGR of a whopping 11.6% between the years 2021-2028. This is due in part to continuing research on the therapeutic benefits of Aromatherapy, in addition to consumer preference for more natural products. 

What Blends Well with Sweet Orange Essential Oil?

This versatile citrus oil blends well with just about anything. You can’t go wrong combining Sweet Orange with other citrus aromas, such as Lime, Grapefruit, and Lemon. The sweet fragrance of orange also combines great with floral aromas such as Jasmine, Bergamot, Rose Geranium, or spicier scents like Patchouli, Cinnamon, or Clove.

Precautions

The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, through which VINEVIDA is certified, strongly advises against the ingestion of Essential Oils. This is because of the concentration level of oils, making them very potent. For this same reason, we do not recommend the topical use of undiluted essential oils. 

If you wish to apply Sweet Orange Oil to your skin, you will first need to dilute it with either a carrier oil or a basic skincare product. Sweet Orange Oil is also somewhat phototoxic, meaning it can react with the sun. If you apply topically, avoid going outside without proper sun protection.
