Sweet orange oil
On the label: Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil · Fragrance
What it is
Cold-pressed orange peel oil, mostly limonene, a listed fragrance allergen when oxidised.
Fragrances: Fragrance ingredients give a product its scent, from a single essential oil to a blend listed only as 'fragrance' or 'parfum'.
In the research
4 PubMed papers mention it with skin, cosmetics or hair; the three most recent:
- Safety and efficacy of feed additives consisting of expressed sweet orange peel oil and its fractions from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck for use in all animal species (FEFANA asbl) · EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2021
- Type and magnitude of non-compliance and adulteration in neroli, mandarin and bergamot essential oils purchased on-line: potential consumer vulnerability · Scientific reports, 2021
- Determination of allergenic hydroperoxides in essential oils using gas chromatography with electron ionization mass spectrometry · Journal of separation science, 2014
A paper is a paper, not a verdict: titles are listed so you can read them, and a study on cells or mice says little about a cream on a face.
