Blood Orange (Citrus sinensis osbeck) – Pure Essential Oil

Description

Blood Orange Essential Oil – The Red Healing Citrus

Blood oranges are seriously one of the many wonders of the natural world. As its name suggests, this variation of orange has unique splotches of red pigment inside and outside its peel, all because of the curious flavonoid pigment most commonly found in red and purple fruits and vegetables such as cherries and berries!

Blood orange has a unique scent and a beautiful deep rose-color, making it one of the prettiest and also most beneficial of the citrus fruits. Its oil is incredibly high in antioxidants due high levels of anthocyanins, the red flavonoid pigments that give blood oranges their vibrant hue.
