Mandarin fruit peel oil is produced through cold pressing. This method is preferred for citrus oils as it helps preserve the oil's fresh, uplifting aroma and therapeutic properties. The process involves exerting pressure on the mandarin peel to extract the oil. Its high limonene content lends it refreshing and invigorating properties, helping to awaken dull skin. The oil's gentle exfoliating action can help remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother complexion. Additionally, mandarin peel oil possesses antioxidant properties, which can help protect the skin from environmental damage and premature aging. Its uplifting aroma can also contribute to a sense of well-being, potentially reducing stress-related skin issues. However, it's important to note that citrus oils, including mandarin, can cause photosensitivity.
