What is Orange Fruit Extract?
Orange Fruit Extract is derived from the juice and pulp of oranges. It is commonly produced by pressing the fruit to separate the liquid component, which is then concentrated into an extract.
This extract is primarily used in body care products for its refreshing citrus scent and perceived antioxidant properties. It is generally considered safe, with little evidence to suggest harmful effects in typical usage amounts in personal care items.
