Orange and Emu Oil Hand and Body Balm
Orange and Emu Oil Hand and Body Balm 6oz/130g. Orange oil is extracted from Citrus sinensis (also known as Citrus aurantium var. dulcis and C. aurantium var. sinensis) of the Rutaceae family and is also known as Portugal or China orange. This essential oil is used in aromatherapy to create the feeling of happiness and warmth, while calming nervous problems. Orange oil is extracted from the orange peel by cold-pressing and it has a sweet, fresh and tangy smell. Orange essential oil is a safe non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing oil, yet care must be taken since it can have a phototoxic effect. Therefore, it should  not be applied before going out into sunlight for prolonged periods. The second ingredient is Orange Peel Wax, which is extracted from orange peels using mechanical presses. Orange Wax is an excellent emollient. Orange Wax is becoming a popular ingredient in leading lotions and creams, all while adding a beautiful orange citrus fragrance that is very similar in note to orange essential oil.The third ingredient is our Pure Australian Emu Oil (Koru Naturals Catalog number EO01). Because of its natural soothing and hydrating properties, emu oil can be used to soothe almost any skin type. Finally, this balm is made on a base of soy butter, extracted from American, non-recombinant, soybeans.
