Citrus Aurantium Fruit Water ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is primarily a water-phase solvent and diluent that also adds a light botanical scent and sensory cue. It is not usually the preservation, emulsification, or cleansing system.
What does Citrus Aurantium Fruit Water do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is primarily a water-phase solvent and diluent that also adds a light botanical scent and sensory cue. It is not usually the preservation, emulsification, or cleansing system.
Is Citrus Aurantium Fruit Water clean?
Clean-beauty standards generally treat this ingredient as acceptable when it is properly preserved and allergen labeling is handled for any natural aroma constituents. Sensitivity risk is usually low at typical levels, but trace fragrance allergens can matter for highly reactive skin.
Is Citrus Aurantium Fruit Water sustainable?
This material is plant-derived, renewable, and expected to be readily biodegradable because it is mostly water with low levels of naturally occurring organics. Its footprint depends on agriculture, irrigation, transport, and whether the aromatic-water stream is captured from processing rather than made as a standalone input.
Is Citrus Aurantium Fruit Water COSMOS-approved?
It is generally permitted under COSMOS-natural, and it can support COSMOS-organic content only when the plant source and processing meet organic rules. From a Green Chemistry lens, it fits well when made by simple aqueous distillation or extraction from renewable feedstock, with attention to water and energy use.
How does Citrus Aurantium Fruit Water work chemically?
This material is an aqueous condensate or extract dominated by water, with trace volatile terpenes, oxygenated aroma molecules, weak acids, and other soluble plant constituents. It may be used anywhere from about 1% to much of the water phase, and because it is microbe-supportive and lightly acidic, it needs preservation and protection from heat, air, and light to limit odor or color drift.
