Oranges are an ingredient widely used in natural cosmetics. They have anti-oxidant, cleansing, and astringent properties. Oranges are bursting with vitamins and fruit acids, they are hydrating, invigorating, and purifying.

Rich in vitamin C, they effectively combat weakening and drying out of the skin, help regenerate it and stimulate collagen production. Their high content of flavonoids, plant pigments responsible for the coloring of flowers and fruits, gives their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Their anti-wrinkle potential is extremely strong.

They also protect blood vessels and play an essential role in cell synthesis and the absorption of iron by the body. Orange zest naturally gives radiance and evens skin tone. Orange deeply cleanses the skin and is suitable for all skin types - especially oily, acne-prone, sensitive, or slightly blotchy skin.

In addition, they naturally provide a pleasant smell, an advantage in formulas containing absolutely no fragrance, neither synthetic nor natural.

They are therefore naturally appreciated by the team of botanists in charge of formulations at Cosmydor and are included in high concentration in the following five treatments:

• As a key ingredient under the forms of peel extract and essential oil in E/6 Essential Care Orange - Ultra-Moisturising and Purifying Hand & Face Cream.

• As a key ingredient under the forms of floral water and essential oil in C/2 Restructuring Cream with Orange Floral Water & Shea Butter - for Dry Skin

• As a key ingredient under the forms of floral water and essential oil in C/3 Nourishing Mask with Shea Butter & Orange Floral Water

• As a secondary ingredient under the form of essential oil in the Petit (or Grand) Baume Relax

• As a secondary ingredient in the form of essential oil in the new lips balm, Baume Lèvres Kiss.

No wonder French poet Paul Eluard (1895-1952) famously wrote: “La Terre est bleue comme une orange…” (Earth is blue like an orange…).
