Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (sweet orange) Fruit Extract is derived from orange fruit and used in skincare for its antioxidant vitamin C content, mild brightening, and natural fragrance properties. It functions primarily as a skin-conditioning agent and source of natural acids and flavonoids.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Skin irritation or stinging | Uncommon | More likely on sensitive or compromised skin due to natural acids and fragrance components. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Linked to citrus-derived allergens and fragrance constituents such as limonene. |
Phototoxicity / photosensitivity | Rare | Associated mainly with citrus peel oils containing furocoumarins; fruit extracts pose lower risk but caution with sun exposure is advised. |
