๐ฟ Introduction Mandarin Green Essential Oil is a bright, juicy, and youthful citrus essence distilled from the unripe peels of Citrus reticulata . Among all mandarin varieties, the green (early-harvest) type is the most vibrant โ capturing the lively, tangy freshness of just-picked fruit balanced with subtle floral sweetness.
