organic phytonutrient blend™ [citrus aurantium dulcis sweet orange fruit extract

Description

Organic Phytonutrient Blend™ featuring Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Sweet Orange) Fruit Extract is a potent, naturally-derived skincare ingredient that harnesses the power of citrus bioflavonoids and antioxidants. This extract is rich in vitamin C, which plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis and skin brightening. The blend's antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing oxidative stress and premature aging signs.

Sweet orange extract contains hesperidin, a flavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting effects, which may improve skin tone and texture. The natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) present in this extract provide gentle exfoliation, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, more radiant skin.

This ingredient also offers aromatherapeutic benefits, with its refreshing citrus scent potentially uplifting mood and reducing stress. The organic nature of the blend ensures minimal exposure to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. When incorporated into skincare formulations, this phytonutrient blend can contribute to improved skin hydration, enhanced barrier function, and a more even complexion. It's particularly beneficial for dull, congested, or environmentally stressed skin types.
