Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice is the liquid expressed from fresh orange fruit. Formulators put it in lotions, masks, and cleansers for its natural sugars, mild acidity, and zesty character, which can improve product feel and appearance.

Our take
Is Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice a Good Ingredient?
Offers mild surface smoothing from natural acids and sugars, but benefits are subtle and variable; acidity and fruit allergens can irritate sensitive skin. Those gaps in the evidence, plus the added risk, are why it sits at Fair.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Can give skin a fresher look and smoother feel due to natural sugars and gentle acidity. Antioxidant contribution is modest, so results are typically subtle.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Included in toners, serums, and exfoliating pads for a touch of fruit-derived brightness and a light citrus character.
Before you use it
Safety
Can cause stinging or irritation, especially on sensitive or compromised skin, due to acidity and natural allergens. Patch test and introduce gradually if you’re reactive.
