Orange's backstory

Derived from the peels of the world’s oldest and most commonly grown tree fruit, orange oil is best known for its cheerful scent and refreshing properties! Orange seeds were first introduced to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1493, and they eventually reached Haiti and the Caribbean. Historical sources also note that Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon introduced oranges to Florida – where they’re now known as the official state fruit!

Today, it’s also found in perfumes, skin care products.
