FunctionFragrance

What it is — Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil (INCI of the same name) is a cold-pressed lemon-peel essential oil used as a natural fragrance component.

What it does — It contributes a bright, fresh citrus aroma to a formula rather than acting as a skincare active.

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.
