Mandarin Essential Oil (citrus madurensis) is expressed from the peel of the fresh fruit and has a sweet, gentle mandarin fragrance.The Mandarin originates from the Far East and was the traditional gift given to the Mandarins of China. This fruit was introduced into America in 1845 where its name was changed to Tangerine.
Mandarin is regarded as a safe, gentle oil and this along with Neroli are the only two essential oils we would recommend during pregnancy but only after the first 3 months - before this period we would recommend no essential oils whatsoever. Carrier oils can be used and the one I would recommend is the Monoi Oil which is deeply moisturising and also wonderful for baby massage.
