CITRUS AURANTIUM PEEL OIL
Is CITRUS AURANTIUM PEEL OIL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Evidence is too limited to call Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil reliably suitable for seborrheic dermatitis. It adds a citrus scent and botanical character, but it does not treat Malassezia or inflammation.
Citrus peel oils can irritate fragrance-sensitive skin, and some expressed citrus oils can contain light-reactive furocoumarins depending on species and processing. No direct human seb derm evidence was found. A rinse-off, properly processed trace amount may be tolerated, but fragrance-free leave-on products are the cautious choice during a flare, especially on sun-exposed skin.

Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil is the aromatic oil obtained from bitter-orange peel. Its main skincare role is fragrance, although brands may also use it to support a fresh or botanical product story.
