Stories from Nature
The mandarin (Citrus reticulata) is a fruit tree belonging to the Rutaceae family. It is one of the three citrus fruits native to the genus Citrus, along with the citron and the pomelo. The term “mandarin” refers to both the plant and its fruit and has its roots in Chinese history: the name is derived from ancient imperial officials, whose orange robes echoed the color of the fruit.
The cultivation of this plant reached Europe around the 15th century. Its leaves are small and give off an intense fragrance. The mandarin is used to produce the prized essential oil and its derivatives, celebrated for their purifying, toning, and sanitizing properties. In cosmetics, these extracts are chosen for the care of skin prone to impurities or oiliness, thanks to their ability to refine the skin’s texture.
