How is lemon oil used in cosmetics and personal care?

The oil is a natural fragrance component and a fresh-scent active in leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics: creams, lotions, body washes, soaps, shampoos and deodorants.

Formulation notes

• Add in the cool-down phase to protect the volatile top notes.
• Use an antioxidant or a sealed system; citrus oils oxidise.
• Declare limonene and citral when above the EU labelling thresholds.
• Respect the IFRA category limit for the finished product.

Cosmetic use follows the Cosmetic Safety Technical Specification in China and EU 1223/2009 in Europe. G4S supplies the INCI name, the allergen quantification and the SDS.
