Origin

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract, or sweet orange extract, is made by harvesting and washing ripe oranges. The peels or flesh are macerated and then subjected to extraction methods like cold pressing, solvent extraction, or steam distillation. The resulting extract is filtered, concentrated, and stabilized to preserve its active compounds. Finally, it is packaged in suitable containers, often dark glass bottles, to protect it from light.
