Orange - Sweet
If happiness had a scent, it might just be sweet orange essential oil. Fresh, fruity, and naturally mood-lifting, this citrus oil doesn’t just smell like sunshine — it brings gentle benefits to your skin, too. At Made in Hemp, we include sweet orange oil in a variety of our products for its revitalising aroma and mild, skin-friendly properties.
You’ll find it in our Gym Junkie Hemp Body Butter, Hand Protection Cream, our warmly scented Cinnamon & Sweet Orange Hemp Soap, and soon in our essential oil roller perfumes and diffuser blends.
What Is Sweet Orange Essential Oil?
Derived from the peels of Citrus sinensis (aka the same orange you eat), sweet orange essential oil is cold-pressed to preserve its fresh, vibrant aroma and beneficial compounds. Unlike bitter orange or neroli, sweet orange has a softer, juicier scent — less sharp, more comforting.
It’s rich in:
Limonene – a natural antioxidant and mood-lifter
Myrcene – supports skin-calming and absorption
Citral & Linalool – provide antimicrobial and balancing effects
The result? A scent that’s bright, soft, and instantly uplifting — paired with mild skin-purifying qualities.
