Backhousia Citriodora Leaf Extract, from lemon myrtle leaves, is used mainly to add a natural citrus fragrance and to contribute plant-based aromatic and antioxidant compounds. It can give products a fresh scent and a botanical positioning. Its functional role is generally that of a fragrance or botanical extract rather than an active.
Is Backhousia Citriodora Leaf Extract safe?
Backhousia Citriodora Leaf Extract is widely used in cosmetics, but because it is rich in citral, an aromatic compound, it can be a potential skin sensitizer for some people. Reactions depend on the concentration and individual sensitivity. If you have reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin, patch testing is a reasonable precaution.
Is Backhousia Citriodora Leaf Extract natural or synthetic?
