CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS PEEL OIL EXPRESSED

Description

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil Expressed, commonly known as Sweet Orange Peel Oil, is a natural essential oil derived from the outer rind of oranges through cold pressing. This vibrant, aromatic oil is rich in limonene, a potent terpene with antioxidant properties. In skincare formulations, it serves multiple purposes, offering both functional and sensory benefits. The oil's natural astringent properties help to tighten pores and regulate sebum production, making it particularly useful for oily and combination skin types. Its high vitamin C content contributes to brightening the complexion and promoting collagen synthesis. The oil also possesses mild antimicrobial properties, which can aid in managing acne-prone skin. However, caution is advised as citrus oils can increase photosensitivity. In haircare products, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil Expressed can help to clarify the scalp, add shine to hair, and provide a refreshing scent. Its invigorating aroma is known to have mood-enhancing effects, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy-inspired formulations. When used in appropriate concentrations, this versatile ingredient can significantly enhance the efficacy and sensory appeal of various personal care products.
