Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Water

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Water is the aqueous extract from sweet orange fruit, produced through pressing or distillation. It contains water-soluble compounds including citric acid, vitamin C derivatives, and volatile aromatic compounds that give it its characteristic orange scent.In skincare formulations, this ingredient primarily serves a sensory function, providing fragrance and a pleasant user experience. It is used sparingly in products, typically at very low concentrations.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Water works primarily through its aromatic and sensory properties rather than through direct chemical action on the skin. The volatile compounds evaporate slightly on application, providing fragrance, whilst the aqueous components offer light hydration.Any antioxidant benefit is likely minimal given the typical low concentrations used in finished products, though the presence of citric acid may provide a subtle pH-buffering effect.

This ingredient is used at very low concentrations in finished products, so it requires no special application instructions. Simply use the product as directed. If you prefer fragrance-free skincare, check product labels carefully, as this ingredient will contribute to the scent profile.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Water is generally well-tolerated. However, citrus-derived ingredients can occasionally trigger sensitivity in those with citrus allergies or very reactive skin, and some people may find the fragrance irritating.
