Tangerine Dream: unwind with evening primrose and tangerine, our deliciously tangy and restorative chocolate blend
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a North American wildflower that blooms after sunset, hence the name. The indigenous Americans harvested the seeds for food and made use of the whole plant to heal wounds and bruises. Today, evening primrose oil is extracted as an excellent source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), the essential fatty acid used to treat skin conditions and regulate female hormones. Our evening primrose oil is sourced from China.
Tangerine essential oil (Citrus reticulata) is found in the outer peel of this fruit from the mandarin orange family. Its fresh, warm, tangy aroma succeeds paradoxically in being both cheerfully refreshing and soothingly relaxing. Therapeutically, tangerine oil is appreciated for its antifungal, antiseptic, antispasmodic, sedative, toning, purifying and cytophylactic actions – the last one meaning that it can help restore damaged tissues. And that’s why it is favoured to treat scars and stretch marks. Though it takes its name from Tangiers, the Moroccan seaport, we source our tangerine oil for this delicious chocolate from Sicily and Brazil.
