Mandora
Mandora is a nourishing botanical oil pressed from the kernels of the mandarin orange. Popular in UK skincare and haircare, it delivers lightweight moisture, a subtle natural citrus aroma and a silky feel without greasiness.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics Mandora functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Its naturally balanced fatty-acid profile helps soften the skin surface, supports the skin’s moisture barrier and improves product spreadability, making it a favourite in facial oils, body butters, cleansing balms and hair serums.
