Roman Orange Peel

In ancient Rome, hand-pressed sweet orange oil was revered as a miracle potion that could instantly illuminate even the dullest faces. The Romans believed that the oil was a dazzling sun-catcher that showered soft sunbeams on the faces of its users, keeping them glowing for days. The oil elevated bathing to a sumptuous art of elaborate cleansing ritual and the transformational power of sweet orange remained a well-kept Roman secret for centuries together.
