ENERGIZE | PURIFIED | ILLUMINATES

What is orange powder?

Orange powder is obtained by drying and then pulverizing the peel of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), a fruit rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Widely used in natural cosmetics, it is appreciated for its purifying, toning and illuminating properties. Rich in vitamin C, it helps stimulate collagen production, evens skin tone and revitalizes dull or tired skin.

Its richness in natural acids also makes it an excellent gentle exfoliating ingredient, which helps to tighten pores, smooth skin texture and clarify complexion. It is also used in hair care to stimulate the scalp and add shine to the hair.

Where does orange powder come from?

Orange powder comes from the slow dehydration at low temperatures of the peels of sweet oranges, generally grown in Mediterranean or tropical regions. This process allows all of its natural assets to be preserved. It is then reduced to a fine powder, without additives or preservatives, for pure and natural cosmetic use.
