DESCRIPTION
When in Sicily. Be transported to a citrus orchard with Blood Orange (Sicily) Essential Oil, distilled from the Citrus sinensis tree. This essential oil extracted from its vibrant fruits exudes a fruity, sweet, and tangy aroma, making it an excellent choice for enhancing the fragrance of soaps, cleaners, and cosmetics.
The fruit of blood oranges is characterized by red streaks, and, when squeezed, the juice exhibits a reddish hue due to the presence of Anthocyanin — a rare antioxidant within the citrus family. This pigment not only enhances the fruit’s visual appeal but also contributes to its nutritional value.
