Concern level
Moderate concern
Essential oil expressed or distilled from bitter orange peel. It is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and may also contribute minor antioxidant or sensory effects from its terpene fraction. Like most citrus peel oils, it is a complex natural mixture rather than a single molecule, so composition varies by source and processing.

Risks & Warnings
Can irritate sensitive or compromised skin and may trigger allergic contact dermatitis in fragrance-sensitive users.

Avoid if you have known citrus/fragrance allergy.
