Citrus Junos (yuzu) Peel Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in flavonoids, vitamin C, and aromatic compounds, used in skincare for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-conditioning properties. It is typically added to formulations for its purported brightening and protective effects against oxidative stress.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation (redness, stinging) | Uncommon | Possible in sensitive skin due to citrus-derived compounds and fragrance constituents. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Sensitization to limonene, linalool, and other naturally occurring fragrance allergens in citrus peel. |
| Phototoxicity / photosensitivity | Rare | Citrus peel extracts may contain trace furocoumarins; risk is low in properly processed cosmetic-grade extracts but possible with high concentrations. |
