Description
Handcraft Blends Tangerine Essential Oil is a 100% pure, cold-pressed citrus oil with a sweet, juicy, rounded aroma. Identified as Citrus reticulata and sourced from Mexico, it adds a mellow tangerine-peel note to diffusers, soaps, candles, room fragrances, and properly diluted body-care blends.
Tangerine Essential Oil for Diffusers, Soap & Candle Making
Tangerine has a bright citrus opening with a softer, sweeter finish than sharper lemon or lime notes. Its fruit-forward aroma can soften herbal, floral, woody, and spice accords without making the finished scent heavy.
Handcraft Blends Tangerine Essential Oil comes in an amber glass bottle with a glass dropper for controlled measuring. Begin with a small amount and evaluate the aroma before adding more.
Benefits & Features of Tangerine Essential Oil
- Sweet, mellow citrus aroma – Adds a juicy tangerine character to diffuser and home-fragrance blends.
- Cold-pressed oil – Retains the recognizable citrus profile of Citrus reticulata.
- Versatile scent ingredient – Suitable for compatible diffusers, soaps, candles, perfumes, body oils, and tested DIY formulas.
- Easy to blend – Complements citrus, floral, herbal, woody, resinous, and spice notes.
- Controlled dispensing – The glass dropper helps measure small quantities for repeatable formulas.
- Quality-focused – GC/MS tested, bottled in the USA, and packaged in amber glass.
How to Use Tangerine Essential Oil
For a diffuser: Add approximately 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water, or follow the device instructions. Allow the aroma to disperse before increasing the amount.
For scent blending: Try Tangerine Essential Oil with lavender or geranium for a floral-citrus profile, cedarwood or frankincense for depth, or small amounts of ginger and clove leaf for a citrus-spice accord. Record each quantity so the blend can be reproduced.
For soap and candles: Follow the selected base supplier’s usage-rate and temperature guidance. Citrus top notes may change during heating or curing, so prepare a small test batch first.
For room sprays: Do not simply shake essential oil into water. Use a suitable solubilizer and, when a water-based formula will be stored, an appropriate preservative according to a tested recipe.
Tangerine Essential Oil vs. Mandarin, Sweet Orange & Lemon
Tangerine and mandarin are closely related, and their common and botanical names can overlap in the fragrance trade. This Handcraft Blends product is sold as Tangerine Essential Oil and identified as Citrus reticulata. Its listed scent is citrusy and fruity, with a sweet, mellow character.
Choose tangerine for a rounded, fruit-forward citrus note. Sweet orange usually gives a fuller orange-peel profile, while lemon is typically sharper and more tart. When exact identity matters, use the current label and batch documents rather than relying only on a common name.
Topical Use & Formulation Safety
Always dilute Tangerine Essential Oil before applying it to skin. Handcraft Blends lists up to 2% as a common topical dilution, but the appropriate amount depends on the finished product, application area, intended user, and other ingredients. Formulators should follow the current SDS, batch data, and applicable IFRA guidance.
Cold-pressed tangerine is generally not classified among the strongly phototoxic expressed citrus oils because it typically contains only very small amounts of relevant furocoumarins. This does not remove irritation or sensitization risk, and blends containing other cold-pressed citrus oils must still be assessed as complete formulas.

View report (PDF)How to use
Tangerine Essential Oil has a sweet, bright citrus aroma that’s uplifting and light. It’s a popular choice for diffusing to freshen your home, adding to homemade candles or soap for a cheerful scent, and blending with carrier oils for gentle topical use when diluted properly.
-
Diffuse tangerine oil using about 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water to infuse your space with a warm, inviting citrus scent. It also works beautifully in reed diffusers, DIY room sprays, or blended with floral and herbal oils in candles and aroma projects.
-
For topical use, always dilute tangerine essential oil in a carrier oil. A common dilution is up to 2% — roughly 6–12 drops of tangerine oil per ounce (30 mL) of carrier. Apply the diluted blend to wrists, neck, or shoulders as part of a gentle body care or massage routine.

I use essential oils in lieu of dryer sheets. I just put a little on a tennis ball, or a wool ball and it makes my laundry smell nice. This tangerine oil has a great smell, but I don't think this particular oil is as strong as some of the other scents I used in my laundry. I do like it and I think it makes my clothes smell great!
J
Works well with my diffuser. I would be careful though it is potent. Start wirh only a drop or two and then increase if you feel the need to later. Smells good.
V
This essential oil smells wonderful. I absolutely love the scents and I will be using this both in my diffuser and in my oil warming pot. The only drawback, and it is a small one, is that even though the dropper is quite long, it will only fill up about an inch even with complete bulb depression. I can overlook that though, as the oil smells really good!
A
This Handcraft Blends tangerine essential oil has a bright citrus scent that I enjoy. The scent doesnt fill the room but is noticeable and extra special as I go by the area with the diffuser sticks. I like this scent and my rating is 5 Stars.
L
It's tangerine and nothing else. It smells fresh and wonderful and it's 100 pure. 4oz is a ton to have since you'll be using this by a few drops at a time and should last practically forever especially if you like to mix fragrances.
C
Smells great just like the actual fruit! Intense. You really get the bang for your money...this is not water down crap. Highly recommend this brand.
H
Best essential oil. The lemongrass scent is everything! On my second bottle.
T
The price is WAY better than Scentsy for a small bottle! I use this for lots of things, so I needed the big bottle! Its in my subscription and other scents too

Strong smell. Great for masking dog farts.

K
This is probably one of my favorite essential oils for diffusing. It smells incredible and very citrusy just like it should. My whole house smells like tangerine and I love it. Especially in the cold winter months when I need something bright and cheery to remind me of warmer weather. It comes with a nice dropper that works really well and there is a ton in this bottle. I will definitely be ordering this again.

The scent was as expected (smelled like tangerine!). It came in a glass bottle with a screw on lid plus a separate eyedropper lid. The bottle labeling did not indicate a country of origin for the oil.
S
I used this in a lip balm recipe. It was my first time using essential oils, and I was very happy with the results. It mixed well in the recipe, and added scent without any noticeable change in the color of the mixture. This smells very nice and is true to the advertised tangerine scent.

Great scent

It is nice to have a larger 4 oz bottle of essential oil available to freshen up some potpourri we have out in the bathroom. The eye dropper helps to make sure the oil goes onto the dried fruits and flowers more accurately, hence less waste. The smell is not overbearing, but smooth and obvious it is a citrus based scent. The fact that this is a "natural" essential oil is a bonus. Pricing is fair, scent is wonderful and we would order this again.
J
really nice quality essential oil, weve used it in diffusers and has a really nice smell
K
Great smelling oil, perfect for using when cooking in the kitchen. This adds a great ambiance to the room, like you're in a citrus grove or on the beach near orange trees. The scent is not overpowering, but very strong in it's super condensed form. Meaning a little goes a long way. I used it in an oil diffuser that mixes it with water, used about 5 drops per half cup of water. The scent is a mix of citrus and orange, not bitter or too sweet, just perfect.
H
This Tangerine Essential Oil is fantastic! The large 4 oz bottle is great for the price, and the scent is so refreshing and uplifting. Its 100 pure and natural, which makes it perfect for diffusers and aromatherapy. I love using it in my diffuser to create a cheerful atmosphere, and it also blends nicely with other oils. A little goes a long way, and the quality is top-notch! Definitely a must-have for any essential oil collection.
G
Loving the fresh and tangy citrus scent this essential oil provides. Used it making candles with soy wax, and the aroma released while it burns is delicious! Large quantity jar includes a long shaft dropper making it easy to withdraw the needed amount of oil. I imagine it would smell just as good in a vaporizer. Highly recommended.

This bottle has an expiration of 082026. It was shipped in a box with the oil in one compartment and the dropper are in a separate compartment. The bottle had a plastic wrap on the cap of the bottle. I put some oil in my palm and also smelling the opened bottle: it had a very fresh tangerine smell without any odd other scents. I'm going to put some in my homemade hand wash.
A
Overall, I think this is an awesome bottle of tangerine essential oils. It is quite large at 4 ounces and smells lovely. When used in a diffuser it does a great job of filling the room without being overpowering. No complaints - and I'm very happy with it!
