History and Usage:

Red Mandarin essential oil is derived from the peel of the Citrus reticulata (also called the tangerine). Its sweet and lively citrus scent refreshes and invigorates. Applied to the skin, this oil improves circulation, largely because of its astringent qualities. For the same reason, it can improve not just the texture of the outermost layer of the skin, but other layers of the dermis as well. As it works on the surface, it constricts the capillaries of the lymphatic system which can contribute to a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and puffiness. Red Mandarin oil also contains a high concentration of the antioxidant vitamin C, which can help repair cells damaged by sunlight, aging and stress.
