RED MANDARIN Essential Oil is made up of between 65 and 75% limonene. How does that stack up compared to other Citrus Oils? Bergamot and Lime contain around 50 to 55% limonene, Lemon contains around 65%, Grapefruit 90%, and Wild Orange and Tangerine 95%.

RED MANDARIN Essential Oil also contains a fairly high concentration of a component called gamma-Terpinene. This component is also found in Melaleuca, Cumin, Black Pepper, and Ginger, and is also known as a powerful cleanser.

As you can see, the combination of Red Mandarin’s limonene and gamma-Terpinene components makes it the ideal oil for cleansing and toning the skin or adding to your favorite all-purpose cleaner.
