Botanical name: Citrus reticulata
The mandarin is the fruit of the mandarin tree, a small citrus tree. Mandarins are grown in many countries, such as Spain and Greece (mainly in Crete and Chios). The history of the fruit dates back to three thousand years ago in China. It is said that the delicious fruits got their name from the Mandarins, the senior government officials of the Chinese empire, because of the color of their uniforms but also because they exchanged these fruits as gifts. Mandarin is the sweetest of all citrus fruits.
Extraction Method
Distillation is a delicate process requiring experience and constant supervision in order to obtain a high-quality oil. Our chemists and perfumers undertake this delicate process to obtain high quality essential oils. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs flooding the air with the most beautiful and exquisite natural scents.
Our equipment ensures the best quality of essential oil. It takes 100 kg of herbs to make 1 lt of essential oil. We produce Dittany essential oil in a worldwide exclusivity, as well as a wide range of rare essential oils from flowers and herbs in our distillery in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. An “essencier” or separator collects the floral water or hydrosol and the essential oil. The difference in density between the two liquids makes it easy to separate the essential oil from the floral water.
Properties
Mandarin essential oil has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine and Ayurveda to calm the mind, relax the body and facilitate sleep. The main ingredient in mandarin oil is d-limonine, which makes up about 75% of its chemical composition. D-lemonine has many benefits for our health, particularly its anti-inflammatory action.
Chronic inflammation, an accumulated reaction of the body to infections or injuries, can damage long-term tissues and organs, change the structure of DNA and increase oxidative stress, leaving us exposed to many serious diseases, such as dementia, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
However, researchers have found that d-limonine can suppress the expression of various proteins and enzymes associated with chronic inflammation.
In modern research, mandarin oil in aromatherapy has been found to possess soothing and anti-stress properties by reducing anxiety symptoms.
Inhalations of its essential oil significantly increase the duration and quality of sleep.
It also provides strong relief from post-operative pain.
Mandarin oil has been shown to be a valuable source of antioxidants, inactivating free radicals that destroy our body cells.
Working just as effectively as vitamin C, mandarin oil is a natural remedy for age-related ailments as well as external signs of aging.
In cosmetics it is used to balance the skin's oiliness and dryness. It has very good anti-aging properties, instantly giving radiance to dull skin and restoring lost elasticity. It is a key ingredient in slimming products as it promotes fat burning, tightens and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
