Orange oil contains a significant amount of limonene that aids in eliminating harmful free radicals that can damage healthy cells. It is also effective in restraining the growth of various bacteria and fungi. Orange oil has numerous benefits for the skin, including promoting clarity, combating inflammation and acne, and maintaining skin freshness.
Orange oil is an essential oil produced by cells within the rind of an orange fruit (Citrus sinensis fruit). In contrast to most essential oils, it is extracted as a by-product of orange juice production by centrifugation, producing a cold-pressed oil. It is composed of mostly (greater than 90%) d-limonene, and is often used in place of pure d-limonene. D-limonene can be extracted from the oil by distillation.
