Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil is an essential oil used in cosmetics for its fragrance, antimicrobial, and soothing properties. It contains linalool and limonene which impart the oil with a lovely, sweet smell. In its raw form, this oil appears as a pale yellow to amber liquid. Also known as Bitter Orange Flower Oil or Neroli Oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil comes from the flowers of bitter orange. Not only does it give beauty products a floral, citrusy scent, but also protects the skin against oxidative stress and refines the appearance of pores. It is non-phototoxic and safe but should be used in very small amounts.
