I didn’t even know that tangerine essential oil existed, much less that there are 35 ways to use it! This is awesome thank you! Looking more into it now!
It’s not one of the more popular oils, but it’s no less amazing 🙂
I don’t know much about essential oils, but I love all things citrus. Thanks for the ideas, and especially for the bath salt combo near the end. I do enjoy my soaks!
Citrus is so uplifting and energizing. Just what we need in our soaks after a long day. I always caution people to be careful when using essential oils in the tub (I don’t discourage it, I do it every night!). Just be careful because some oils sting sensitive people. Mixing them in the bath salts will help to dilute and disperse them, but still be careful 🙂
I love the smell of tangerines! I’ll definitely be trying out the tangerine essential oil!
You will love it! Essential oils are highly concentrated so that amazing smell is super amplified 🙂 Enjoy!

Tangerine bath salts- that sounds lovely! Be careful because citrus can be strong and sting sensitive people (I’m speaking from experience). Enjoy that lovely bath 🙂
Quick and simple question: When you say “apply”, do you mean directly and neat (with no dilutions)? I thought essential oils are too strong to be applied directly to the skin? Also, is this okay to use (on my skin) even when breastfeeding?
Hi Jade, great questions. To be on the safe side, you should always apply the oils diluted in a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil. Some oils are very mild and can be applied “neat” (without dilution). Some essential oils will, depending on the company, will have it identified on their label if they can be neat or should be diluted. But when in doubt, always start with dilution and always dilute on small children.
Congratulations on breastfeeding your baby! Essential oils can be used on your skin when breastfeeding. Of course, you don’t put the oils directly on your breast. I would also avoid putting them on your chest and abdomen right before you breastfeed just because your baby will in such close proximity and you don’t want to overwhelm him or her with any strong scents. But they are safe to use and can even be used to help with breastfeeding issues and feelings of sadness after having a baby.
