What it is
Sweet orange essential oil is cold-pressed from the peel of the common eating orange. The aroma is simple, cheerful, instantly recognizable, and universally well-loved. It has been used in skincare, candle-making, and traditional aromatic practices for centuries, especially during winter months when citrus fragrance feels like an antidote.
Why we use it
Because joy. Sweet orange is the simplest, most accessible essential oil we use, and it shows up in First Light to add a layer of pure cheer to the formula. It is the smell of holiday afternoons and clean kitchens and the kind of fragrance that makes most people smile when they catch it.
What it offers your skin
A simple, universally-loved citrus aroma. A traditional companion that adds gentle joy to formulas. The smell of sunshine in a jar.
