Orange Peel Oil

Orange Peel Oil is a fragrance ingredient: it adds scent and does nothing for the skin itself. Pori's ingredient rules flag it for caution on every skin type.

What should I watch for?

  • Essential oil: natural, but fragrant and a frequent irritant.

Is Orange Peel Oil comedogenic?

It has a comedogenic rating of 0 out of 5 in Pori's ingredient database, so it's unlikely to clog pores. Ratings like this come from older tests on single ingredients, and a finished product with it isn't necessarily pore-clogging. A 2006 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that finished products made with comedogenic ingredients were not necessarily comedogenic, so treat the number as a hint, not a verdict.

How do I check a product with Orange Peel Oil?

Scan the barcode or photograph the ingredient list with Pori's ingredient scanner (a Pro feature). It rates every ingredient for your skin type, flags fragrance, pore-clogging and irritating ingredients, and gives the product an overall match score. It's a guide to ingredients, not a diagnosis, so see a dermatologist about any reaction.
