aka Bitter Orange Essential Oil, Seville Orange Oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil
Citrus aurantium var. amara
Citrus aurantium var. amara | Cold-Pressed | India
Our Bitter Orange Essential Oil is cold-pressed from the sun-ripened rinds of Citrus aurantium var. amara, grown in the vibrant orchards of India. Known for its fresh, citrusy aroma with subtle green and woody undertones, this oil offers a more complex, slightly bitter scent than its sweet counterpart—perfect for adding depth to natural perfumery and aromatherapy blends.
Also called Seville Orange or Bigarade, Bitter Orange is a hybrid of pomelo and mandarin. Though native to India, it’s now cultivated in regions like Spain, Sicily, Morocco, the Caribbean, and the southern U.S., thriving in warm, sun-rich climates.
Known for its toning, cleansing, and detoxifying properties.
Supports lymphatic health—often used in blends for cellulite, fluid retention, or detox rituals.
Packed with flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that help protect skin, reduce signs of aging, and promote healing.
Naturally uplifting and revitalizing, making it ideal for boosting mood and easing anxiety or low energy.
Encourages a sense of clarity and motivation—great for mental reset moments or focus blends.
Adds brightness to diffuser blends, especially during cold and flu season.
