About
Dried and ground seeds of Citrus × junos (yuzu), a citrus fruit from East Asia, used as a texturising and oil-absorbing exfoliant in skin care formulations.
Citrus junos (yuzu) seed powder contains fixed seed oils rich in linoleic acid (omega-6), tocopherols, and limonene, with the powdered carrier providing mechanical exfoliation. The yuzu fruit and its derivatives have a long history of culinary use in East Asia, supporting a favourable safety profile. Citrus seed oils naturally contain d-limonene and may contain trace furanocoumarins, though the seed fraction is significantly lower in these compounds than the peel. EU CosIng lists Citrus junos seed powder without restriction; it is considered safe for cosmetic use.
