Sweet Orange Essential Oil benefits are numerous. The oil contains vitamin C and monoterpenes such as linalool, d-limonene, and a-pinene. It also contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, and pain-relieving properties.
Antioxidant-rich, it promotes collagen production in the skin, keeping it elastic and plump looking. It also helps reduce the size of your pores thanks to its astringent effect on the skin. This makes the skin look tighter. The oil also reduces the free radical damage on your skin.
Orange oil is a rich source of vitamin C, which helps fade pigmentation and causes your skin to become even. This inhibits melanin production in the skin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
“Thanks to the oil’s antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, it’s often used to treat acne. According to a 2020 study, sweet orange oil improves acne by reducing the growth rate of sebaceous gland spots and decreasing the release of inflammatory cytokines, among other reactions.”
Containing boosting properties, Orange Oil helps reduce excess sebum secretion and maintain your skin’s natural oil balance. Limonene can help protect the skin from premature aging caused by long-term exposure to UVB radiation caused by pollution, UV rays, smoke, and free radicals.
