Unlocking the Power of Mandarin Oil: Summer Wellness at The Science of Wellness, Northwood
At The Science of Wellness in Northwood, we believe true luxury lies in how we care for your body, inside and out. This season, we’re proud to highlight one of our most beloved ingredients: mandarin essential oil — a gentle yet powerful ally in holistic skincare and lymphatic health.
Why Mandarin Oil?
Extracted from the rind of the mandarin orange, this oil is rich in antioxidants and natural compounds such as limonene, which are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-regenerating properties.
But what truly sets mandarin oil apart is its impact on the lymphatic system — the body’s natural detox network. When used during therapeutic massage, this citrus oil can stimulate lymph flow, helping to reduce water retention, support cellular detoxification, and ease inflammation-related conditions such as lymphoedema.
How It Works in Our Treatments
In our bespoke massage and facial experiences, mandarin oil is carefully blended into our organic massage oils and skincare formulations. During a lymphatic drainage massage, the oil helps to:
Promote gentle circulation of lymphatic fluid
Reduce puffiness and swelling, particularly in the face and limbs
Soothe the nervous system, easing tension and encouraging deep relaxation
Improve skin tone and elasticity, supporting natural radiance
