About

Dried, ground peel of Citrus reticulata (mandarin) with furanocoumarins subject to EU Annex III restriction II/358.

Citrus Reticulata Peel Powder is the dried, ground peel from mandarin (Citrus reticulata). EU Annex III entry II/358 applies due to furanocoumarin content in mandarin peel, with bergapten and related compounds being the primary concern. Furanocoumarins in peel are more concentrated than in juice due to sequestration in the albedo and flavedo. Leave-on cosmetic use is restricted and subject to maximum concentration limits under EU cosmetics regulation.
