CITRUS NATSUDAIDAI PEEL OIL

Description

Citrus Natsudaidai Peel Oil is derived from the peel of the Natsudaidai fruit, a hybrid citrus native to Japan. This essential oil is extracted through cold-pressing methods, preserving its aromatic compounds and beneficial properties. Rich in limonene, a terpene known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, Citrus Natsudaidai Peel Oil offers potential skin-protecting benefits.

The oil contains vitamin C, which aids in collagen synthesis and helps brighten the skin. Its astringent properties may help tighten pores and regulate sebum production, making it potentially useful for oily and acne-prone skin types. The oil also exhibits antimicrobial activities, which could assist in combating acne-causing bacteria.

Citrus Natsudaidai Peel Oil has a fresh, citrusy scent that can provide aromatherapeutic benefits, potentially reducing stress and improving mood. However, like other citrus oils, it may cause photosensitivity, so caution is advised when using it before sun exposure. It is typically used in low concentrations in skincare formulations due to its potency and potential for skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
