Traditional Use
Mandarin peel (chen pi in Chinese medicine) has been a cornerstone of traditional Chinese herbal medicine for over 2,000 years, used to regulate digestion, resolve phlegm, and support respiratory health. In skincare, the peel's high limonene content made it valued for its warming and circulation-promoting properties.
