Citrus fruits: why do we love them so much?

16 May 2021

You have probably noticed our great enthusiasm for citrus fruits.

Who wouldn’t?!

Several natural products of our O’terra line are citrus based. That’s right!

Not only do citrus fruits smell divine, they also have countless benefits.

In addition to stimulating our immune system, promoting digestion and protecting the heart (thanks to their richness in magnesium, potassium, calcium & antioxidants), they bring great “beauty” benefits to our skin.


1. Lime

Lime – also known as green lemon – is known for its antibacterial properties, which is great for getting rid of bacteria that cause pimples, for example.

It is also detoxifying and purifying, which is great for removing toxins and waste from the skin.

Finally, lime is a valuable ally in maintaining a beautiful skin tone.

It’s for all these great reasons that it’s mostly found in our O’terra face care products, such as our makeup remover/cleansing bar, our glowing face scrub, and our face mist for oily skin!

2. Lemon

Lemon is a citrus that is abundant in antioxidants and vitamin C, in addition to having anti-inflammatory properties.

At O’terra, we like to recommend incorporating lemons into your diet, whether it’s in the form of lemon water, herbal teas, or as a food seasoning. Yummy!

We love it just as much for the benefits it has on our bodies. Lemon has anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties and helps slow down the aging of the skin. That’s why we thought it would be interesting to incorporate it into our face mist for mature skin.

3. Tangerine

In addition to having a divine scent, tangerine is known for its purifying & antiseptic properties. This citrus is therefore ideal to ensure the effectiveness of our sanitizing mist for fabrics, whose objective is to sanitize fabrics that touch the face (e.g.: mask, pillowcases, scarves, turtlenecks, etc.) to prevent the appearance of pimples. We have talked to you about it in more detail here!

4. Mandarin

The properties of mandarin are remarkable, both in facial and body care products.

This citrus fruit, which is rich in vitamins A & C, helps stimulate the production of natural collagen, which helps diminish expression lines. It is therefore found in our hyaluronic acid, matcha & mandarin serum to provide a dose of deep hydration in the face while giving a glow to the face.

Beyond its “aesthetic” benefits, mandarin calms stress and promotes relaxation, hence the wise choice to add it to our bath bomb. Effervescence & relaxation, all in one!

5. Orange

Will you please tell us who doesn’t like the smell of orange?! No one.

Not only does this citrus smell good, taste good, but it is also very effective in generating cellular repair of the skin. So you’ll understand why we carefully integrated it into our lip balm. Softness guaranteed!

6. Clementine

The clementine is known to be a good source of vitamin C and B vitamins, not to mention the fact that it stimulates the immune system.

We particularly admire it for its ability to sanitize, soothe, regenerate and tone the skin. It is for these reasons that we have chosen this citrus fruit for our face mist for sensitive skin. It is also appreciated for its power exerted on the skin that provides a unified effect of the skin tone.

7. Pink grapefruit

The characteristics offered by pink grapefruit are real assets for hair products! In addition to its delicate and fruity smell, this natural tonic minimizes hair loss and sebum production.

So you can see why we couldn’t help but add this citrus to our shampoo and conditioner bar as well as our dry shampoo.

Pink grapefruit is also a real gem for the body. It has astringent properties – meaning it tightens skin tissue and pores -, reduces inflammation, has blood circulation benefits, burns fat from cells, and more!

So we’re announcing to you, our loyal blog readers, that pink grapefruit will be included in one of our natural products soon. You heard right: one of our enriched products! Can you guess which one?

Stay tuned!

So now you understand why we love citrus so much!
