Koru Essential Oils Tangerine
Notes From The Koru Oils Lab™ -
Koru's Tangerine has a sweet and zesty citrus aroma that's similar to, but more subtle than, our mandarin essential oil. This Dancy variety is considered to be one of the oldest Tangerines grown in Florida, via Tangiers, Morocco. Some records show plantings as early as 1867 in the groves of Florida by Colonel F. L. Dancy, to whom the name is attributed.1 Tangerine essential oil is said to help cheer, inspire, and strengthen and to be a favorite of children and pregnant women.2 Great in a diffuser.
