Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Fruit Extract
Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Fruit Extract
Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Fruit Extract is a plant-derived cosmetic extract used mainly as a skin-conditioning and masking ingredient. It is obtained from mandarin orange fruit and is typically included for botanical marketing appeal and to contribute antioxidant/brightening support rather than as a primary active. CIR’s safety review lists the ingredient as safe in current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

Risks & Warnings
Can cause irritation or sensitization in fragrance-sensitive or very reactive skin. Like other citrus-derived botanicals, it may be a concern in leave-on products if the extract contains significant natural fragrance constituents or furocoumarins, though the CIR review concluded the ingredient is safe in current cosmetic use when non-irritating and non-sensitizing.
