YOU NEED:
Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Sweet Orange is a super refreshing oil that smells like a glass of fresh OJ, which makes it an amazing scent to start your day with.
While we love it on its own, it also blends so well with other more herbal and woodsy scents. In fact, Sweet Orange and Rosemary is one of our favourite blends at the office. Sweet Orange is also super versatile (just how we like it), and can be used in your beauty routine, in the bath, and in the kitchen. It’s known for its uplifting and energizing properties, as well as its glow-inducing qualities for the skin.

How we use it
- Morning moisturizer: for a subtle glow and a little boost of Vitamin C, we add 2 drops of Sweet Orange to our morning face cream. Be sure to follow up with sunscreen.
- Body soak: Sweet Orange is naturally uplifting, so we love adding 5 drops to our evening bath to improve our mood.
- Dish cleaner: Sweet Orange helps cut grease, so we use a few drops on dirty pots and pans for a little mid-wash pick-me-up.
Blends well with
Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Peppermint.
