About
Dried, ground sweet orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis) fruit with multiple hazard classifications including sensitisation and aspiration toxicity.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Powder is the dried, ground whole fruit from sweet orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis). This material carries multiple GHS hazard classifications including H226 (flammable), H304 (aspiration hazard), H315 (skin irritation), H317 (skin sensitisation), H318 (eye damage), and H411 (aquatic toxicity). While sweet orange itself is not EU Annex III restricted, the powdered form with residual essential oil content presents a real-world hazard profile. The IFRA standard restricts d-limonene and related compounds in leave-on formulations due to sensitisation potential.
