Softest citrus of the family, with a sweet, orange-blossom-tinged character and none of lemon's sharp edges.

Mandarin Oil gladly takes bulk orders. Every size, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs, comes from the same standard, so formulators, makers, and resellers can scale up without changing what they started with.
Mandarin essential oil is concentrated botanical material, so treat it with care. For skin use, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets. Not for internal use. Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Mandarin Oil's mandarin essential oil graded? ▾
It is sold as botanical grade. For specifics about what that means for this oil, contact us and we will gladly talk it through. The published Certificate of Analysis is available to review, and it applies to every size we offer.
What species is this, and how does it differ from sweet orange oil? ▾
This oil is Citrus reticulata, cold-pressed from the fresh peels. Sweet orange oil comes from a different citrus fruit. Mandarin reads sweeter and rounder than orange, and softer than lemon, with a faint floral hum. If you want gentleness over punch, mandarin is the one to reach for.
What does mandarin oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
It smells sweet, mellow, and juicy, with a faint orange-blossom tinge and a soft floral hum underneath. It folds comfortably into blends with lavender, chamomile, frankincense, and vanilla, where it adds a rounded, fruity opening without taking over the rest of the mix.
How should I dilute mandarin oil for skin use? ▾
Dilute to between 0.5% and 2% in a carrier oil. That works out to roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Always patch test on a small area first, keep the oil away from eyes, and start at the low end if you are new to citrus oils.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
There are nine sizes: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs. Wholesale and bulk orders are welcome, and formulators, makers, and resellers all buy from the same range as everyone else.
How does per-ounce pricing change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as you move up in size. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle. Larger containers are the economical choice once you know how quickly you go through the oil.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes. Every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis, from the smallest bottle to the largest container. If you need anything further for your records, contact us before ordering and we will tell you what we can provide.
Which size should I choose? ▾
For a first try, a 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is plenty for diffusing and a few small projects. Regular home use suits 2 oz to 4 oz. Makers batching scrubs, sprays, or candles often step up to 8 oz or 16 oz, and 5 lbs and above suit production runs.
How quickly do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow a little additional time for those. Checkout is handled through our Shopify store, where you can pick your size and complete the purchase.
Why is mandarin oil best bought in small amounts? ▾
Like all pressed citrus oils, mandarin is best used fresh, so a size you will finish in a reasonable time serves you best. Buy small, reorder often, and keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark place. Bulk buyers who move volume quickly will find the larger sizes suit them.
