About this ingredient
Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract (INCI: Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract) is an extract from the grapefruit fruit. It gives the formula a toning effect and a fresh citrus scent. It appears in toners, gels, body products and cosmetics with an energizing profile. On efficacy it is a supporting and sensory component. It provides a fresh feel and adds to the scent, but the evidence for a marked cosmetic benefit is limited. Its main role is the use experience, not targeted skin treatment. For topical use it has no systemic relevance and can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Irritation potential is low, but allergy risk is medium: citrus extracts contain aromatic compounds (such as limonene) that can cause a contact reaction in sensitized people. Most people have no trouble with it. It is also worth keeping in mind that some citrus components can be photosensitizing, so in leave-on products for sun-exposed areas watch how your skin responds.
