Citrus Sinensis (Blood Orange) Fruit Extract is derived from blood orange and is rich in vitamin C, anthocyanins, and flavonoids that provide antioxidant activity. It is used in skincare to help protect against free-radical damage and support skin brightening and conditioning.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Skin irritation or stinging | Uncommon | May occur in sensitive skin, particularly at higher concentrations or with compromised skin barrier. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Citrus extracts can act as sensitizers in predisposed individuals. |
Phototoxicity / photosensitivity | Rare | Citrus-derived components, especially if furocoumarins are present, may increase sensitivity to UV light; fruit extract typically has lower risk than peel oils. |
