CITRUS NATSUDAIDAI FRUIT OIL

Description

Citrus Natsudaidai Fruit Oil is derived from the Natsudaidai, a Japanese citrus fruit also known as the summer orange or Amanatsu. This essential oil is extracted from the fruit's peel and possesses a range of beneficial properties for skincare applications. Rich in limonene, a terpene compound known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, Citrus Natsudaidai Fruit Oil helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

The oil contains natural astringent properties, making it effective for balancing oily skin and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Its citrusy aroma provides a refreshing sensory experience and may have mood-enhancing effects when used in aromatherapy. Citrus Natsudaidai Fruit Oil also exhibits mild antibacterial properties, potentially aiding in the management of acne-prone skin.

When incorporated into skincare formulations, this oil can contribute to a brighter complexion by gently exfoliating and promoting cell turnover. However, as with many citrus oils, it may increase photosensitivity, so products containing this ingredient should be used with caution in direct sunlight. Patch testing is recommended to ensure skin compatibility, particularly for those with sensitive skin.
