Tangerine Essential Oil Certified Organic

Bright, sweet, and instantly cheerful. Tangerine is the citrus that lifts the mood without effort, and one of the few oils that children and adults reach for equally.

Valley of the Moon's Tangerine is a certified organic essential oil cold pressed from the peel of Citrus reticulata, sourced from Argentina. Sweet, fresh, and warmly citrusy, it brings an invigorating brightness that boosts mood, eases nervous tension, and brings a sense of calm and lightness to any space. Gentle enough for children, effective enough for grief, anger, and emotional shock when blended with Marjoram, Tangerine is one of the most versatile and universally loved citrus oils in the collection.
