About

Pressed juice from Citrus reticulata (mandarin/tangerine) subject to EU furanocoumarin restrictions due to variable coumarin content.

Citrus Reticulata Fruit Juice is the expressed juice from mandarin (Citrus reticulata). EU Annex III entry II/358 applies to certain Citrus reticulata preparations due to potentially elevated furanocoumarin content in the juice vesicles. Furanocoumarins such as bergapten can cause phototoxic reactions. The restriction requires appropriate labelling and limits use in cosmetic formulations.
