Differences between Yellow, Red, and Green Mandarin Oil

The differences between Yellow, Red, and Green Mandarin Essential Oils lie in the ripeness of the fruit during extraction, which affects their aroma and properties:

• Green Mandarin: Extracted from unripe mandarins, it has a fresh, tart, and slightly sharp citrus aroma.
  It’s often used for its invigorating and uplifting qualities.
• Yellow Mandarin: Derived from semi-ripe mandarins, it offers a balanced, zesty, and slightly floral scent.
  It is less tart than Green Mandarin and less sweet than Red Mandarin, making it versatile in perfumery.
• Red Mandarin: Obtained from fully ripe mandarins, it has the sweetest and most mellow aroma of the three.
  It is often used for its comforting and calming properties.

• * FCF stands for “Furocoumarin Free”. It indicates that the essential oil has undergone a process to remove furocoumarins, which are compounds that can cause phototoxic reactions when exposed to sunlight.
  This makes FCF essential oils safer for topical use, especially in products applied to the skin.
