Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil

Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil (CAS 68916-04-1) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 2 materials in this catalog carry it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

What Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil smells like

Drier, more sophisticated orange than the sweet oil, with bitter-peel, slightly woody and fresh-marmalade facets. Prized in colognes and amber compositions for a grown-up citrus opening. FCF grade: bergapten/furocoumarins removed for photo-safety; the scent profile is essentially the same, marginally less full in the deep facets.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

Capped because it is phototoxic: it reacts with sunlight on skin, so this ceiling is about sun exposure rather than sensitisation. IFRA's Guidance, chapter 1, covers how the limit is applied.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.

PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
