Orange Extract
What Orange Extract is & what it does
Orange Extract is a botanical extract derived from the orange plant (Citrus aurantium dulcis), typically from the fruit or peel. In cosmetic and sunscreen formulas it is used as a skin-conditioning and fragrance-contributing ingredient and supplies citrus-derived compounds such as flavonoids. Because citrus extracts can carry naturally occurring fragrance components, formulas may flag potential sensitivity for some users.
