The story behind the bottle
Mandarin is the softest of the citrus oils, cold-pressed from the peel of Citrus reticulata. Soil's organic mandarin carries less of the sharp bite of lemon or grapefruit and more of a honeyed sweetness, which is why it's the citrus most often reached for around children, sensitive sleepers and anyone who wants citrus brightness without the punch.
