Tangerine essential oil is both naturally extracted and synthetically produced. Natural tangerine essential oil is obtained from the peel of the tangerine fruit through cold pressing or steam distillation. The cold pressing process involves pressing the peel to extract the oil, while steam distillation involves heating the peel to release the oil vapor, which is then condensed and collected. Synthetic tangerine oil is typically more affordable than natural tangerine essential oil as is used more often in the fragrance industy.
