CITRUS SPHAEROCARPA PEEL WATER
Safety score · 0–100
Good
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A fragrant water distilled from the peel of kabosu, a Japanese citrus, used as a lightly perfumed base in toners and mists. Low risk overall, with a small phototoxicity caveat tied to citrus peel chemistry.
Skin benefits
- Aromatic citrus peel hydrosol from Japanese kabosu, used for a light fresh scent
- Provides trace antioxidants and flavonoids typical of citrus peels
- Water-based, so it carries minimal essential oil load compared with cold-pressed peel oils
- Generally compatible with toners, mists and lightweight emulsions
Known concerns
- Citrus peel constituents include furocoumarins that can be phototoxic, though hydrosols contain far less than the oils
- Possible allergic contact dermatitis in citrus-sensitive users
- Quality and composition vary by supplier and harvest
- Sun-sensitivity warnings may be prudent for leave-on products
