Orange oil is an essential oil extracted from orange seeds. This oil is high in vitamin C and antioxidants such as palmitic acid and carotenoids. The carotenoids in orange oil protect the skin and fight inflammation. You can use the oil in homemade skin care products, such as face masks and anti-aging creams.
