A quality orange essential oil will typically be sold in a dark amber or cobalt blue bottle with a dropper cap. The colored glass reduces oxidation caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
When combined with a carrier oil, orange essential oils can be applied directly to the skin at a ratio of one to two drops of essential oil to one teaspoon of carrier oil.
Orange essential oils can also be safely inhaled by sprinkling a few drops onto a cloth or tissue, or using an aromatherapy diffuser or vaporizer. Several drops of the oil can also be added to a warm bath for a therapeutic soak. *
