Frequently asked questions
What is blood orange essential oil?
It is the oil expressed from the fresh peel of blood oranges, a red-fleshed variety of sweet orange, Citrus sinensis (INCI: Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil Expressed). It shares the sweet orange INCI but has its own distinctive character.
What does blood orange oil smell like?
Sweet, juicy and bright, with a deeper, slightly berry-like and tangy edge compared with standard sweet orange. It lifts fruity, gourmand and citrus blends and pairs well with vanilla, grapefruit, ginger, cinnamon and ylang ylang.
Where does it come from and can it be used in food?
It comes from blood oranges of Italian origin. It is suitable as a food flavouring under EU 1334/2008 (FEMA 2825), subject to the usual formulation considerations.
What pack sizes and safety documents are available?
From 500 ml up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. SDS, IFRA certificate, EU and food allergens declarations and typical GC are available; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
