What NUXE Says
Product Description:
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Florale Multi-purpose Dry Oil is a new floral and delicate version of NUXE's iconic dry oil. Despite its new presentation, this nourishing product has the same dry oil texture and the same effectiveness on the body, face and hair. The inimitable formula prevents stretch marks, provides anti-oxidant benefits, and keeps impurities from sticking to the skin, therefore providing an "anti-pollution" action. The novel fragrance, which features fresh as well as floral notes, meshes perfectly with the skin for an exquisite moment of pleasure. This pleasant dry oil can hydrate and nourish both skin and hair, protect from premature aging, prevent stretch marks, calm the skin after getting a sunburn, or even soothe the skin in a psoriatic crisis. Its formula, enriched with antioxidants, has a shield-like effect against pollution. The dry oil texture allows it to be easily applied without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin, as it is rapidly absorbed. The skin becomes softer and bouncy, stretch marks are visibly reduced and prevented and the hair looks shinier and nourished.

Ingredients Details
Citral
Common Name(s): 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal,geranial+neral mix
CAS Number: 5392-40-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the defining intense lemon-citrus fragrance note.
Why It's Used: The lemon scent compound โ citral defines the fresh lemon scent in lemon essential oil and lemongrass with potent antimicrobial activity.
How It Works: Mixture of e-isomer (geranial) and z-isomer (neral). antimicrobial via michael addition to thiol enzymes. inhibits nf-kb for anti-inflammatory activity. antioxidant via allylic aldehyde.
Typically Found In: Citrus fragrances,antibacterial products,lemon-scented cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ lemon aldehyde
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.001%โ0.5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from lemon, lemongrass, melissa oils

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu cosmetics regulation: declared fragrance allergen. high sensitisation potential from alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde structure. ifra strict limits.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Citral's high sensitisation potential (llna ec3 ~0.11%) is a consequence of its alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde structure providing a highly reactive michael acceptor for skin protein covalent binding. the e/z mixture (geranial/neral) in natural citral means both isomers contribute to the sensitisation burden โ explaining why lemongrass oil (very high citral content, ~60-80%) is one of the more common essential oil allergens.

Citronellol
Common Name(s): (r)-3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-1-ol,rhodinol

Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Citronellol's r-enantiomer (natural) vs s-enantiomer (synthetic) provide meaningfully different scent character โ a remarkable demonstration of chiral scent discrimination by olfactory receptors. the (r) form provides the characteristic rose note while the (s) form has a distinctly different, less pleasant character. this enantiomeric scent difference means that the biological handedness of naturally-sourced vs racemic synthetic citronellol produces perceptibly different fragrance quality.

Coco-caprylate/caprate
Common Name(s): Coco-caprylate/caprate
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Smooths and softens skin by filling intercorneocyte spaces, reducing friction, and providing a pleasant aesthetic skin feel in formulations.
Why It's Used: Synthetic esters provide tailored aesthetic properties โ spreadability, skin feel, volatility, refractive index โ that natural oils alone cannot consistently deliver.
How It Works: The ester molecule fills microscopic surface irregularities between corneocytes, reducing coefficient of friction, reflecting light uniformly, and providing a lubrication layer that protects the skin surface.
Typically Found In: Moisturizers,sunscreens,color cosmetics,body lotions,lip products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Synthetic emollients
Secondary Functions: Emollient
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1โ20%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetically produced ester emollient; no animal components.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1
Comedogenicity Rating: 1
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Silicones,uv filters,other emollients
Avoid Combining With: Strongly alkaline conditions (risk of saponification of ester-type emollients)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
The spreading coefficient of an emollient is governed by its surface tension, viscosity, and polarity. esters with branched alkyl chains (e.g., isopropyl, isostearyl) spread rapidly and leave a non-tacky film; linear long-chain esters provide more substantive moisturization. hlb value determines the preferred formulation system (w/o vs o/w emulsions).

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Geraniol's isomers (geraniol, nerol, citronellol) provide subtly different scent characters despite identical molecular formulae (c10h18o): geraniol provides the sweet, fresh rose note while its z-isomer nerol has a more delicate, neroli-like character. these isomeric scent differences arise from different spatial presentation of the hydroxyl and double bond groups to the olfactory receptor โ demonstrating the extraordinary structural sensitivity of olfactory perception.
