Citrus Nobilis Fruit Extract Gemiddeld Antioxidant Hydratatie Citrus Nobilis Fruit Extract at a glance Fruit from the Mandarin orange Skin conditioning ingredient Also a masking agent Ruled safe as used in cosmetics Citrus Nobilis Fruit Extract description _Citrus nobilis_ fruit extract is the pulp from the fruit of the Citrus nobilis plant, more commonly called the Mandarin orange. In cosmetics, Mandarin orange fruit extract is most used as a skin conditioning ingredient; however, it is also used as a masking ingredient to cover up the known or likely-to-become unpleasant smells of other ingredients. The fragrance components that do this can pose a risk of skin irritation, though that risk is smaller than in other parts of the plant, chiefly the essential oil that is derived from its peel. Still, the potential benefits of the fruit extract aren’t great enough to warrant using _Citrus nobilis_ fruit extract over any other number of skin conditioning ingredients without this drawback. _Citrus nobilis_ fruit extract has been ruled safe as used in cosmetics by the independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review. Usage levels range from 0.001-0.04%. Related ingredients: Mandarin Orange Oil Or Extract Skin Conditioning Ingredients
