CIT

8/10

Concern level

High concern

Botanical extract derived from sweet orange peel, used mainly as a skin-conditioning, fragrance, and antioxidant-support ingredient. Citrus peel-derived ingredients are generally considered safe in cosmetics when formulated to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating; leave-on products should control furanocoumarin exposure.

Risks & Warnings

May cause mild irritation or sensitization in reactive skin. Citrus peel-derived ingredients can contribute to photosensitivity if furanocoumarins such as 5-methoxypsoralen are present at meaningful levels; keep leave-on exposure low and use sun protection.
