What it is — Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil (INCI of the same name), also known as orange peel oil, is a cold-pressed citrus essential oil.

What it does — It is commonly used to give a fresh, sweet-citrus scent and a mildly astringent sensory character.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in scented skincare, body and hair products.

Who it suits / good to know — Like most essential oils it can contain fragrance allergens, and cold-pressed citrus peel oils are commonly noted to have phototoxic potential, so it is best approached with care on sensitive skin.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: an aromatic essential oil that can contain fragrance allergens and sensitizers. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - aromatic essential oil that can contain fragrance allergens and sensitizers.
