Orange extract (CITRUS AURANTIUM PEEL OIL) is a plant-based active ingredient extracted from orange peels, rich in vitamin C, flavonoids (such as hesperidin and naringin), phenolic acids, and essential oils (limonene). These bioactive compounds provide strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection, helping to shield skin and hair from oxidative stress and external aggressors.
It helps improve skin hydration, elasticity, and radiance, while also supporting the evening out of skin tone and reduction of dark spots.
Key benefits of orange extract:
• Antioxidant protection: Neutralizes free radicals and prevents premature aging.
• Brightening effect: Helps reduce hyperpigmentation and evens out skin tone.
• Collagen stimulation: Improves skin elasticity and firmness.
• Hydration and barrier function: Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Anti-inflammatory action: Soothes skin and reduces irritation.
• Antimicrobial effect: Helps maintain clean and balanced skin.
• Hair and scalp care: Protects against oxidative stress and external factors.
Where it is used:
