Tangerine: The Oil of Joy, Playfulness & Creative Flow

There’s a part of you that still knows how to laugh freely.
That still dances in the kitchen.
That still finds wonder in the smallest, most ordinary things.

That part of you? Tangerine remembers her.

This oil is pure joy. Not the kind that’s forced or performative — but the effortless joy that rises when we’re fully present. Tangerine brings the energy of childlike wonder, spontaneity, and creative flow. She wakes up the parts of you that have gone dim from routine, pressure, or emotional heaviness.

She doesn’t ask you to be productive. She asks you to feel alive.

Tangerine is especially supportive for the soul that’s been weighed down by “shoulds” — the ones who are tired, uninspired, or stuck in perfectionism. Emotionally, she invites you to soften back into lightness. To remember that joy isn’t a reward — it’s a medicine.

She lifts the heart and mind, encourages movement, and reconnects you to your own inner sunshine.

Working with tangerine essential oil can:

• Boost creativity and flow when you feel mentally stuck.

• Uplift your energy when life feels heavy or too serious.

• Reawaken your connection to joy, color, and pleasure.

Ways to work with Tangerine essential oil:

• Diffuse during the day to invite lightness, laughter, and ease into your space.

• Inhale before creating — writing, dancing, drawing, making anything from the soul.

• Add to a morning body oil or lotion (diluted) to start the day with brightness.

• Blend with wild orange for extra citrusy joy, or ylang ylang to add playful sensuality.

Tangerine says:
This life is meant to be lived.
Your joy matters.
You don’t need a reason to smile — you just need to allow it.

Let this month be a celebration of color. Of movement. Of feeling good for no reason at all.

You’ve carried enough. Let tangerine remind you how to feel light again.
