Citrus Clementina Peel Oil

CIT

5/10

Concern level

Moderate concern

Citrus Clementina Peel Oil is a volatile citrus peel essential oil used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and, occasionally, for minor skin-conditioning/perfumery effects. It is compositionally similar to other mandarin/tangerine peel oils and typically contains terpene-rich constituents such as limonene and related aroma compounds. Citrus peel oils are covered in CIR safety assessments as fragrance ingredients when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing, with phototoxicity controls for citrus-derived peel oils.

Risks & Warnings
