Safety

Generally safe in cosmetics, yet those sensitive to fruit acids or citrus should patch test. Discontinue use if stinging or redness occurs.

Is Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract a Good Ingredient?

Offers modest antioxidant and sugar content, but efficacy varies by extract and is not strongly supported by clinical data; mild fruit acids can irritate very sensitive skin. That combination of thin evidence and irritation potential is why it rates Fair, not Good.
