Clementine oil is also rich in folic acid, another antioxidant which helps keep skin firm and healthy, and it has anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, citric acid aids in the battle against acne-causing bacteria to keep skin clear of blemishes. It also has a light, refreshing citrus aroma favored for its aromatherapeutic properties.

What Is the Origin of Clementine Essential Oil? The history of the Clementine Orange varies depending on who you ask. Some say it was discovered on the grounds of an orphanage by Father Clement Rodier in Algeria in the late 1800’s when a botanist crossed a sweet and mandarin orange. Others place its roots centuries ago in China or Italy.

It eventually found popularity in the U.S. in the 1900’s and is grown in California today. Clementines are also known as “Christmas Oranges” because their growing season only lasts from November to January, and they were traditionally given as gifts during the holiday season.

Today, it has gained popularity in skincare for its anti-aging benefits and ability to support healthy skin.

Clementine Essential Oil is highly concentrated, so it is crucial that you do not apply it directly to skin in its undiluted state.
