What It Does
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil is a volatile essential oil extracted from the peels of sweet oranges through cold pressing or steam distillation. This oil is prized by formulators for its bright, fresh citrus fragrance and natural limonene content, which provides mild antioxidant properties. It's commonly used in personal care products to impart an uplifting scent while offering the sustainability advantage of being derived from fruit processing byproducts.
