D Limonene Citrus Terpenes

Choose Size

d-Limonene is a clear thin liquid with a dry citrus scent. It comes from steam distilling citrus rinds and is 100% natural additive. However, it is associated with contact dermatitis. Also, limonene enhances the penetration of other ingredients, which can be a bad thing if the product contains other sensitizing ingredients like alcohol or witch hazel. It can be used to enhance citrus essential oils in wash off products such as soap at very low percentages. 1 t 2% of the entire formula.

Please note: This product may be sourced from a food, but due to concentration levels is not safe for use in food or for ingestion.

INCI: d-Limonene

Recommended Usage:   This oil is very versatile, being safer to use and more effective than most commercial and industrial cleaners. At 5 - 15% of the total product, it may be blended with surfactants for industrial-strength cleaners, or solubilised and added to water and vinegar bases for effective natural disinfectant surface cleaners for use in the home. It may also be used at full strength as a biodegradable solvent, without the negative impact that synthetic chemical solvents have on the user or to the environment.

Note: Not for therapeutic use, this is mostly used in green cleaning products and in making cosmetics such as fragrances.

Why not try a safe way to thoroughly clean your home using natural, plant-based ingredients that are biodegradable, instead of phosphates or other harmful chemicals. Let's all help to save the planet.
