CITRUS RETICULATA FRUIT JUICE

Description

Citrus Reticulata Fruit Juice, derived from the mandarin orange, is a natural extract prized in skincare formulations for its multifaceted benefits. This ingredient is rich in vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage and supports collagen production. The juice contains alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), particularly citric acid, which gently exfoliates the skin, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. Flavonoids present in the extract contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties, potentially soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. The natural citrus aroma of Citrus Reticulata Fruit Juice can provide a refreshing sensory experience in skincare products. Its astringent properties may help balance oily skin and tighten pores. The juice also contains minerals and other micronutrients that can nourish the skin. When used in formulations, it may enhance the overall efficacy of the product by improving penetration of other active ingredients. However, as with many citrus extracts, it can increase photosensitivity, so products containing this ingredient should be used with caution in conjunction with sun protection.
