How it works in skincare

In cosmetics and skincare orange blossom is typically used as a hydrosol, essential oil or gentle extract. Its natural compounds help to balance sebum, soften the skin and impart a fresh, uplifting scent that enhances many facial mists, cleansers and moisturisers. It is valued for its ability to soothe and refresh without irritation, making it a lovely addition to both daily and treat products.
