Limonene
A citrus terpene responsible for the bright scent of orange and lemon peel, found naturally in many of our plant extracts.
Benefits
- Fresh, natural citrus aroma
- Natural solvent properties that help blend oil-based ingredients
Traditional Use & Modern Science
Limonene is widely found in citrus peel and has long been used in natural personal care products for its scent and degreasing properties.
Fermentation Advantage (Matter & Magic)
It is present naturally in citrus-derived botanicals used in our ferments.
Safety & Usage Notes
- Limonene is a recognised fragrance allergen under EU cosmetic regulation and is disclosed on our ingredient lists when present above labeling thresholds
- It can oxidise and become more sensitising with prolonged air exposure, which is part of why we use fresh, well-sealed packaging
