Kumquat Essential Oil Uses and Benefits
Native to Asia, kumquat is a small, orange-like citrus fruit. The Fortunella japonica tree produces a small fruit that resembles the conventional orange, but is the size of a large olive. Although the essential oil cold pressed from the rind of its fruit is composed primarily of cyclic monoterpene limonene, as the research suggests, Kumquat is quite distinct among citrus oils.
Kumquat has a sweet, uplifting scent and cleansing properties.
