Happiness is... Sweet Orange Oil
Australia’s Sweet Orange Essential Oil is a favourite in natural cosmetic formulations. Its vibrant colour and sweet, zesty, fresh aroma is cheerful and friendly, appealing to both men and women.
Navel OrangeThe vibrant orange colour – along with the bright citrus aroma – is a key characteristic of Australia’s Sweet Orange Essential Oil. These traits are what set it apart from other oils and make it extremely appealing both locally and in overseas markets.

Happiness is... Sweet Orange Oil
The Orange Tree THE ORANGE TREE’S success comes from a climate that offers warm-to-hot temperatures throughout the day and cooler temperatures at night. The species prefers regular rainfall but can also be prolific when fully irrigated. Seedlings are planted in rows roughly two metres apart, allowing for full tree growth and optimal fruit harvesting.
Fruit first starts to bear after 2-3 years and commercial harvesting commences when full
maturity is reached at approximately the 7-year point. When grown in the best conditions,
some orange trees can even live up to 50 years, continually flowering and fruiting every season.
The citrus sinensis species has several varieties, the main being Navel and Valencia. Both are
grown throughout Australia, but the Sweet Orange Essential Oil is only derived from the Navel
orange. The Navel orange fruit season begins in May and continues through to the beginning
of September.
Navels have no seeds and are also sold to both the whole-fruit market and the juice industry,
offering farmers a higher return from 3 industry sectors rather than the Valencia, which is
primarily used for juicing. This versatility caused many citrus growers to change their crops
from Valencia to Navel to increase the overall profitability of their orchards during the recent
years of drought.

H A R V E S T
The Orange Harvest
Small white-orange flowers appear in October during the fresh spring months and develop into fruit by May. The fruiting season continues all the way through winter and finishes around the beginning of September.
The fruit is hand-picked by a diverse
and transient labour force. Whilst
some locals do get involved, the
industry heavily relies on travelling
fruit pickers, who trek across the
country from region to region,
following the different harvesting
seasons. Community support is crucial
for the industry to maintain its
success and to ensure the harvest
cycle is uninterrupted, with many
local hostels providing private bus
services to and from the orchards.
A day in the life of an orchard picker involves climbing up and down ladders picking only the
ripest fruit, loading and emptying their canvas pouches as they go. Picking is a speedy process
and a skilled worker can collect an impressive three tonnes a day. The pickers empty their
pouches into large plastic bins that are located throughout the rows of trees. Once full, these
containers are combined into open truck trailers and sent to the packing sheds to be processed.
Inspection of the harvest is undertaken at the packing sheds. The fruit is sorted and graded for
whole fruit sale, juicing and/or essential oil extraction.
Above and below: Orange harvesting Australia is fortunate to have extremely favourable soils and climatic conditions in which to grow the citrus sinensis species.
7
The Essential Oil
Sydney Essential Oil Co.’s supply partner receives their fruit directly from the packing sheds and then prepares them to commence processing the essential oil.
Mechanical extractors separate the fruit in preparation for juicing and essential oil extraction.
The essential oil is extracted from the flavedo, or outer part of the orange peel. To facilitate this,
the thin part of the peel is removed from the rest of the orange. The remaining orange goes for
juicing, and the peel is then mixed and crushed with water in a cold press. This oil and water
mixture is then processed through a hydrocyclone and centrifuge to separate the essential oil
from the water molecules, and finally out through a polisher refined centrifuge to ensure
absolute purity of the oil.
It takes approximately 500kg of fruit to produce 1kg of essential oil from the peel. The essential
oil is an important bi-product and provides a complementary source of revenue to the fruit
growing industry. From that 500kg of fruit, 250L of juice will be extracted and the leftover
remnants are used as a stock feed supplement, resulting in zero wastage. It is said that the
orange waste can improve the milk yield of dairy cows.
When added to a body butter or cream, Sweet Orange Essential Oil may improve muscle tone
and the appearance of healthy skin. When incorporated into a cleanser, it may reduce irritations
and redness in dry or acne prone complexions. It is valuable in anti-ageing serums and eye
lotions, as it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. More importantly, the
sweetness of this oil will help to promote a feeling of joy to your mood, benefiting your
everyday life.
We invite you to try our Australian Sweet Orange Essential Oil today.
SEOC’s Sweet Orange Essential Oil is available in 1kg or smaller pack sizes. To place an order or request a quote, contact our sales team at [email protected] or call 02 9565 2828.

S P O T L I G H T
Cypress Oil
Cupressus sempervirens is very robust and, when grown
wild, trees are believed to live for centuries. In Turkey’s
historic Karaca Ahmet Cemetery, cypress trees tower over ancient graves that date
all the way back to the 1500s. Whilst much of the species’ history is somewhat
solemn, it was also recognised for its effective
medicinal uses, offering relief from bronchial conditions
and helping to balance perspiration levels.
Harvest & ExtractionHarvest occurs during the winter season and,
depending on rainfall, can continue into
spring. Mechanical harvesting machinery is
utilised to remove the sprouts and young
branches from the top of the tree. There is no
requirement for a crop rotation program as
well-maintained trees can live for decades.
The cypress cuttings are steam distilled
through large vessels and, once extracted, the
essential oil is filtered to ensure purity. It takes
approximately 70-80kg of plant material to
produce 1kg of the herbaceous essential oil.
Cypress Oil Benefits
Cypress Oil’s clear, woody aroma has a hint of
spice that makes it extremely appealing for
perfumery formulations, particularly in men’s
aftershave products. It resonates as a middle-
to-base note in blends, complemented by
citruses and other aromatic family oils such as
pine, clary sage and juniper.
Aromatherapeutically, the oil may be used to
help minimise varicose veins as it possesses
exceptional vasoconstriction properties. It can
also have a strong influence over bodily fluids
and can assist in treating a range of
conditions such as nose bleeds and excessive
perspiration. Cypress has been known to
provide a calming and balancing effect on
people suffering from highly emotional
states or experiencing stress or anxiety. It can
help soothe tension and ease the nerves.
Sydney Essential Oil Co’s Cypress Oil is one of our spotlight oils for Spring. Please contact our friendly sales team on 02 9565 2828 to place an order now.

Harvest & Extraction
Harvested and sun-dried, each castor
seed contains almost 50% oil, offering a
significant yield and allowing for industrial
hydraulic-press extraction processes. Certified
Organic Castor Oil is cold pressed from the
small seed. It has a pale-yellow colour with
little-to-no odour, retaining a wonderfully-rich
nutrient content and luxurious texture. The
room temperature extraction process releases
approximately 20% of the seed’s oil content.
Conventional Castor Oil is obtained through
cold press extraction and retains many of the
same characteristics as the Certified Organic
Oil. It has a similar appearance and consistency
and has little-to-no odour. It is extremely stable
and is supplied with substantial shelf life.
Castor Oil Benefits
The high level of ricinoleic acid present in
Castor Oil can offer excellent skin-soothing
benefits and help to create a protective barrier
effect. The unsaturated Omega-9 fatty acid
equates to 80% to 95% of the entire fatty acid
profile and is a unique component of Castor
Oil. Other fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic and
stearic acids are all present, yet it is the
ricinoleic acid that sets this oil apart from
others. Cosmetically, its rich emollient action
can improve the overall smoothness and
softness of the epidermal layer. Direct
application can help minimise cracked and dry
skin conditions resulting from exposure to
harsh environments such as sun or wind.
Sydney Essential Oil Co’s Castor Oil is one of our spotlight oils for Spring. Please contact our friendly sales team on 02 9565 2828 to place an order now.
The oil from the ricinus communis plant is popular in
many different industries. From food to pharmaceutical, industrial to cosmetics, it has been utilised for centuries for its natural health benefits and its commercial stability. The quick growing plant species is
native to India and Africa and can withstand
challenging environmental conditions, making it an ideal crop for the region.

Anti-Ageing Oil Trends
10
L I F E S T Y L E
Natural oils, both essential and carrier oils can have remarkable
benefits in keeping our skin healthy and younger looking. The trend of replenishing your
skin with these essential oils has increased dramatically in recent
years – and for good reason. Naturally sourced and cost
effective, we attempt to shine the spotlight on just a few of these oils to help you make
the switch today!
Essential Oils Should be diluted with a carrier oil or hydrosol before applying directly to the skin (given their highly concentrated properties).
11
Frankincense Oil (boswellia serrata)
With a woody, spicy sweet and slight lemony aroma, this ancient essential oil is extracted from the hardened resin or gum of the boswellia serrata tree.
This oil can be very helpful for softening the skin and diminishing the look of fine lines and
wrinkles. It can help to regulate sebum, the protective barrier of fat present in the skin, reducing
large pores. This emollient – when diluted with carrier oil and applied topically – is said to
contain healing properties and works beautifully with mature age skin, helping to tone, firm and
lift, as well as accelerating the cell regeneration process.
It is a strong antioxidant that can also help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. An
astringent with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, Frankincense Oil can also be very
beneficial in treating acne and sores. To use on skin, ensure you add 2-3 drops of Frankincense
Essential Oil to a tablespoon of carrier oil and mix well before applying directly.
Patchouli Oil (pogostemon cablin)
The name ‘Patchouli’ is derived from the Tamil words for ‘green leaf ’, as the fragrant plant flourishes with lush green foliage.
The plant has been utilised for many different purposes over the centuries, not only for its opulent
scent, but also its wonderful and unique properties. In skincare, Patchouli Oil imparts a functional
deodorising action. Its febrifuge properties keep the body cool and can help reduce redness or
angry-looking skin when incorporated into an aloe vera gel or light moisturising lotion. It can also
be a wonderful anti-ageing ingredient that may help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles whilst
encouraging new cell growth. Patchouli Oil can promote a healthy complexion with soft and
supple looking skin. By simply adding a few drops of Patchouli Oil to your daily moisturiser, it may
help to prevent wrinkles, reduce inflammation and soothe irritation.
12
L I F E S T Y L E
Carrot Seed Oil (daucus carota)
Carrot seed oil has been known as a great protector of the skin.
It is derived from the steam distillation of the wild carrot plant and is said to contain healing
properties that restore sun damaged skin and promote cell renewal. Combined with an aloe vera
gel and applied to skin, it can help to relieve painful sunburn. It has also been known as an
incredible anti-ageing essential oil. This is because Carrot seed oil is rich in carotol and
caretenoids which are powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants can help to fight off free
radicals, which can cause fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help to balance the skin by
regulating production of sebum which makes it ideal for all skin types. Always ensure you dilute
a few drops of carrot seed oil with a tablespoon of carrier oil of your choice before applying
directly to the skin.
Argan Oil (argania spinosa)
Argan oil is extracted from the kernels of the unique Argan Tree found only in Morocco.
It is said to contain 80% fatty acids which can help to combat radicals in the skin and provide ant-
aging properties. It also contains an abundance of vitamins A & E which can help to soften the skin
and improve overall elasticity, preventing sagging. It also contains sterolins which can promote
healthy skin cell metabolism. Argan oil has the ability to absorb into the skin rapidly without leaving
any oily residue behind, making it suitable for all skin types. Its capacity to deeply nourish makes this
oil most beneficial for those who suffer from dry and damaged skin. Highly prized and utilised within
the cosmetic industry, Argan oil is also renown for preventing oxidative damage from pollution and
UV rays. It contains fatty acids such as linoleic acid which help to fight radicals and improve the cell
strength of facial skin. Using a dropper bottle, simply apply a tablespoon of Argan oil directly to the
skin for best results.

Jojoba Oil (simmondsia chinensis)
High in vitamins E & C, Jojoba Carrier Oil is actually a wax with powerful hydrating abilities.
This non-greasy emollient
is easily absorbed by the
skin and is commonly used
in most cosmetic, skin and
hair care applications on the
market today. Renowned for
its ability to regenerate skin
cells, it can help to reduce
the appearance of fine lines,
wrinkles and age spots. It can
also act as an effective
natural remedy for acne and
other skin conditions due to
its anti-bacterial compounds.
This carrier oil is ideal to use
as a protective skin base –
simply add your choice of
essential oil to Jojoba and
apply to the skin.

U P C L O S E
Origins of Macadamia Oil Centuries ago in Australia, the nomadic nature of Indigenous life allowed for many Kindal Kindal wild harvests along the eastern strip of the Great Dividing Range.
During autumn, a community would
congregate in an area densely populated with
trees and gather the nuts as they fell.
To crack the smooth hard shell, a special
‘nutting stone’ would be used. This was
made from a slab of dense rock with
in-ground depressions, small enough to
perfectly fit the nut. When firmly placed in
the depression, a blow from a hammer
stone cracked the shell precisely, without
smashing the delicious kernel.
Early European settlers discovered mounds of
broken shells, but it wasn’t until the 1850s
that their attention turned toward the
evergreen rainforest tree. It was named
‘Macadamia’ to acknowledge a prominent
Australian scientist of the time, Dr John
McAdam, but it was then commercially
neglected for a number of decades.
The first commercial plantations were not
established in Australia as you would have
imagined – but in Hawaii, where seedlings,
transported from North Queensland, were
planted and instantly flourished in the rich
volcanic soil.
Harvest & Oil Production
Macadamia nuts are harvested from March through until September.
Mechanical harvesting units are driven
between the rows of trees collecting the fallen
macadamias, which are sent to the factory for
de-husking, drying and initial storage.
Drying is an important step in production, as it
reduces the nuts’ moisture content from
around 20% down to just 1.5%. At the time of
harvest, the kernel fills the entire shell but,
after drying, the kernel will have significantly
shrunk, which enables the shell to be cracked
without any internal damage.
The oil is extracted from the white macadamia
kernel. In the cold press extraction method, a
steel expeller screw press is used. Although
some heat is created by press friction in the
carefully engineered equipment, the actual
nuts are not pre-cooked, so all the natural
antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients are
retained in the oil.
The macadamia nut offers a remarkably high
oil yield (approximately 50%). To produce 1kg
of oil, 2kg of kernels are needed. The by-
product of oil extraction is a protein powder
that is used for animal stock feed.
17
Macadamia Oil in Cosmetics Whilst commonly used in culinary applications due to its high heat stability and pleasant nutty flavour, the demand for Macadamia Oil in the cosmetic industry is ever increasing.
High in monounsaturated fatty
acids and palmitoleic acid, this
golden coloured oil offers
wonderful moisturising properties
to skincare products.
Closely resembling natural skin sebum,
it promotes a soft and supple
complexion, whilst enhancing skin
elasticity and offering anti-ageing
effects. It is also recognised for its
soothing and healing properties
which are beneficial for scar tissue
and sunburn.
Its easy skin penetration makes it ideal
for massage applications and leaves
the skin feeling velvety and smooth.
We invite you to try SEOC’s Certified
Organic Virgin Macadamia Oil in your
own skincare products today. We
believe this oil will impress you.

6 essential oils for Springtime
The arrival of spring usually signals the start of the hayfever and allergy season. Sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose are
just some of the dreaded symptoms associated with the season. If you experience these types of symptoms, then there may be good news to help bring natural relief. Many sufferers are discovering natural alternatives to help combat these uncomfortable allergy
symptoms. Natural essential oils may be the perfect choice to help bring wellness into your life and enjoy springtime.
NATURAL AND HOLISTIC TREATMENTS are gradually becoming more and more in demand these days, with many sufferers
opting to try a more holistic approach to wellness in general.
Incorporating natural essential oils and aromatherapy into our lifestyles can help to
have a powerful positive effect on our mind and body, encouraging healing and
overall good health.
Hayfever and springtime allergies can be a nightmare for sufferers. With this in mind,
we have researched the natural essential oils and blends that can help relieve the
symptoms of hayfever, sinusitis and other spring related allergies and explain their
aromatherapeutic benefits and uses.

Peppermint Oil (mentha piperita)
Peppermint Essential Oil has a sharp, strong refreshing menthol scent, which is said to contain anti-inflammatory and cooling properties that may assist in relieving pain.
Many aromatherapists recommend Peppermint Oil to help provide relief from
allergy symptoms during the spring season. Adding 3-4 drops to a diffuser can
help purify the respiratory system and provide nasal congestion relief. When
one drop of oil is combined with a carrier oil, it can be used to be rub on
temples, neck and forehead to help alleviate headaches, in addition to a chest
rub that may help to ease congestion. Simply adding a drop of peppermint oil
to a tissue may also help to de-congest.

Eucalyptus Radiata Oil (eucalyptus radiata)
Eucalyptus Radiata Oil is one of the most gentle and sweetest-smelling cineole types of eucalypt.
This is the most popular eucalyptus oil used for aromatherapy applications given
low dilutions may be used for children and the elderly. Also known as narrow
leaf peppermint, it is known to be a powerful tonic for the respiratory system
and can help alleviate sinus symptoms such as coughs and congestion, whilst at
the same time helping to boost your overall immunity. Steam inhalation of
essential oils is an ideal way to help relieve allergy symptoms. Simply add 1-2
drops of Eucalyptus Radiata Oil to a bowl of boiled water and inhale. For best
results, ensure you drape a towel over your head to keep the steam in and be
sure to close your eyes.
SEOC Eucalyptus Radiata Oil is available for purchase in Certified Organic or Conventional.
Aromatherapy can help to relieve allergy symptoms during springtime. We recommend only using SEOC therapeutic grade essential oils and performing a skin patch test before use. Simply combine your choice of essential oils with a carrier oil or hydrosol prior to use.

E S S E N T I A L O I L
White Thyme Oil (thymus vulgaris)
Thyme oil has been in use since the time of the Romans and can be a very effective germ killer.
It contains phenols that have antimicrobial properties, which can inhibit growth
of bacteria, fungi and viruses. It is said to be highly effective at dealing with a
sore throat as well as other allergy and flu-like symptoms. Steam distilled from
the plant’s flowering tops, White Thyme Oil is made by re-distilling red thyme
oil. White Thyme Oil acts as an expectorant, helping to clear mucus from the
lungs and throat and is a common ingredient in throat and nose lozenges
available on the market today. Adding 2 drops of this essential oil to a vaporiser
can help to clear a person’s airways and de-congest.
SEOC White Thyme Oil is available for purchase in Conventional.
Basil Grand Verte Oil (ocimum basilicum)
The compounds found in Basil Grand Verte Oil contain high levels of antioxidants and other beneficial phytochemicals.
Steam distilled from fresh basil leaves, stems and flowers to form an extract, this
warm, spicy oil helps to fight infection and bacteria. Diffusing this oil through
your home will help to relieve hayfever symptoms, and adding a few drops to a
steam bath can aid in alleviating congestion. Alternatively, adding 1-2 drops of
this oil to a carrier oil or moisturiser can become an effective chest rub.
