Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between orange fruit water and orange essential oil?
- Orange fruit water is a hydrosol, a water-based product from distillation, containing water-soluble aromatic compounds. Orange essential oil is a concentrated oil containing fat-soluble aromatic compounds, which is much more potent and can be phototoxic.
- Can orange fruit water cause skin irritation?
- While generally considered mild, any botanical ingredient can potentially cause irritation or sensitization in susceptible individuals. Patch testing is advisable, especially for those with sensitive skin.
