INCI name
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Juice
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Juice is derived from Calabrian golden orange juice, rich in vitamin C, and contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, H, and PP. It is a yellow to light brown liquid with a characteristic odor and acidic pH of 3.0 - 4.0.
Thanks to its vitamin C, other vitamins, minerals, and sugar content, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Juice effectively scavenges free radicals, moisturizes, and nourishes. Vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis of collagen and other glycoproteins.
More generally, multiple vitamins in Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Juice play important roles as cofactors of most biochemical reactions and are, therefore, fundamental agents of the skin's good health.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Juice is used in antioxidant, anti-aging, and moisturizing/nourishing products at dose levels between 2 and 5 %. It is a safe, natural, and effective ingredient for skin care applications. It is not a primary irritant and is non-toxic to human endothelial cells.Synonyms
