What It Does
Arôme naturel d'agrumes is a natural citrus fragrance blend typically obtained through cold-pressing or steam distillation of citrus fruit peels, delivering a fresh, bright, and uplifting scent profile characteristic of fruits such as orange, lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot. It is rich in naturally occurring terpenes — primarily limonene — which contribute to its distinctive aromatic character but also require careful formulation consideration due to potential photosensitivity and oxidation. Formulators choose it to impart an authentic, recognizable citrus note in rinse-off and leave-on products, though its use level must be carefully managed in compliance with IFRA guidelines and EU allergen labeling regulations.
