What It Does

This blend combines cold-pressed lemon peel oil and sweet orange peel oil, both obtained through mechanical expression of fresh citrus peels as byproducts of juice production. Rich in d-limonene (typically 90-95% in both oils), this combination delivers a bright, fresh citrus aroma while providing natural antimicrobial properties and mild degreasing action. Formulators favor this blend for its uplifting scent profile, natural origin story, and ability to mask base odors in formulations, though its high terpene content requires careful consideration of oxidation stability and potential sensitization at elevated concentrations.
