Skin types
Green Mandarin essential oil is gentle and versatile, making it beneficial for a wide range of skin types. Here’s how it can support different skin concerns:
1. Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
- Why: Green Mandarin has mild astringent properties that help balance sebum production and tighten pores, which can reduce the appearance of oiliness and prevent clogged pores. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects make it effective for calming acne and preventing breakouts without irritating the skin.
- Best Use: Add a few drops to a carrier oil like jojoba and use it as a balancing facial oil or spot treatment.
2. Combination Skin
- Why: Because it helps balance oil production while still providing hydration, Green Mandarin is ideal for combination skin, which often has both oily and dry areas. The oil’s ability to tone and refresh the skin makes it suitable for addressing mixed skin concerns.
- Best Use: Use in a facial mist or a lightweight serum to help balance the skin.
3. Sensitive Skin
- Why: Green Mandarin is one of the most gentle citrus oils and is less likely to cause irritation or sensitivity. Its calming and soothing effects can help reduce redness and inflammation, making it suitable for reactive or easily irritated skin.
- Best Use: Dilute well and use in a gentle facial oil blend or calming mist. Always perform a patch test.
4. Dull and Tired Skin
- Why: The oil has revitalizing and brightening properties, which help to boost skin radiance and even out the complexion. The antioxidant effects of limonene help fight free radicals, which can make the skin appear dull.
- Best Use: Incorporate into a daily serum or moisturizer to promote a healthy glow.
5. Mature or Aging Skin
- Why: The antioxidant-rich nature of Green Mandarin helps to protect against environmental damage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also promotes collagen production and skin cell regeneration, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
- Best Use: Blend into a nourishing anti-aging facial oil or night cream to support skin renewal.
Green Mandarin is hydrating, soothing, and non-irritating, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a gentle, refreshing oil that can address a variety of skin concerns. Its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties make it suitable for oily, sensitive, combination, and mature skin types.
Is Green Mandarin Phototoxic?
Green Mandarin essential oil is not phototoxic. Unlike some other citrus oils, Green Mandarin does not contain high levels of furocoumarins, the compounds responsible for phototoxicity. This means it is safe to use on the skin without the risk of causing photosensitivity, even when exposed to sunlight.
You can comfortably use Green Mandarin in skincare products or body oils without worrying about sun exposure. However, it is always a good practice to dilute essential oils properly and perform a patch test to ensure there is no individual skin sensitivity.

Examples of typical top notes include:
Citrus oils:
- Bergamot
- Grapefruit
- Orange
- Mandarin
- Neroli
- Petitgrain
Mint oils:
- Peppermint
- Spearmint
- Wild Mint
Fresh woody oils:

- Tea Tree
- Pine
These top notes are perfect for enhancing your blends with their vibrant and cleansing effects.
Understand the Notes of Scents
In aromatherapy, the scent of an oil is often referred to as a "note." The secret behind a truly great fragrance is finding the perfect balance between the notes. Aromatherapy is about scents, and with practice, you will be able to recognize an oil's fragrance even if you might not know which plant the oil comes from. For example, you will be able to distinguish between citrus and floral scents or woody and minty fragrances. The scent is determined by the chemicals an oil contains. Because oils that smell alike often contain the same chemicals, they typically have similar properties.
Oils are categorized into so-called base, middle, and top notes. Knowing an oil's note is important when blending oils. A good blend—like most perfumes—normally contains a mix of all three notes, where the ratio between them varies depending on what the blend is used for. Additionally, an oil can contain more than one note—for example, ylang-ylang contains traces of all three notes and is often considered the perfect fragrance.
When creating a new fragrance, whether it's for a perfume or an aroma diffuser, you should use between 3-7 oils per blend. First, decide what type of blend you want to create, such as a refreshing one, and then choose notes with these characteristics to make up the main content of the blend. Dissolve the mixture in a carrier oil if you want to use it on the skin (12 drops in 30 ml of carrier oil).
Blend | Top note | Middle note | Base note |
---|---|---|---|
Refreshing | 5 drops | 4 drops | 1 drop |
Relaxing | 1 drop | 6 drops | 3 drops |
Sensual | 1 drop | 4 drops | 5 drops |
Balancing | 2 drops | 5 drops | 3 drops |
Energizing | 8 drops | 1 drop | 1 drop |

What is a Chemotype in Essential Oils?
Chemotypes in essential oils refer to the different chemical compositions that can occur in the same plant species due to variations in their growing conditions, harvest times, or geographical locations. These variations lead to the production of essential oils with distinct chemical profiles, each possessing unique therapeutic properties. Understanding chemotypes is crucial for aromatherapy and medicinal applications, as the efficacy and safety of the oils can vary significantly based on their chemical makeup.
Here's a breakdown of what defines a chemotype and why it matters:
1. Genetic and Environmental Influences: A chemotype is often influenced by the plant's environment, such as altitude, climate, and soil composition, as well as genetic factors. These variables can affect which chemical compounds are predominant in the oil.
2. Chemical Composition: Each chemotype of an essential oil will have a dominant chemical compound or set of compounds that characterize it. For example, Rosemary essential oil can be found in several chemotypes, such as cineole, camphor, and verbenone, each named after its principal component, which dictates its therapeutic properties and uses.
3. Therapeutic Properties: The presence of different chemical compounds means that each chemotype can be more effective for different health concerns. For instance, the cineole chemotype of Rosemary is excellent for respiratory issues due to its expectorant properties, whereas the camphor chemotype is more suited for pain relief and circulatory problems.
4. Safety and Application: Some chemotypes may be safer or more appropriate for certain applications than others. For example, an essential oil chemotype high in ketones might be more neurotoxic and thus used with more caution, particularly around children or pregnant women.
Understanding chemotypes allows us to choose the most appropriate and effective essential oil for specific therapeutic outcomes, ensuring both safety and efficacy in their applications.
Green Mandarin is Safe to Diffuse around Dogs
Pet Safe
If you have dogs in the house, these are the recommendations on how to diffuse your essential oils in a safe way: only use 3-4 drops of a particular essential oil in a water based aroma diffuser (UltraSonic).
Use no more than 4-6 drops total if using more than one essential oil, or use the amount in the diffuser recipes.
Be sure your aroma diffuser is in an area where your pet cannot knock it over. Always diffuse in an open area with the door open so your dog can leave the room if desired.
If your dog is sensitive to an oil you are diffusing, stop diffusing and get your dog outside for some fresh air. Contact your veterinarian if you are concerned.
Storage
Essential oils are sensitive to UV: always keep them in their original bottles (amber glass with codigoutte).
We advise you to store them in a cool place without light after opening.
For your mixtures, cosmetic and culinary preparations, always use a new bottle to avoid interactions.
