Orange oil (Citrus sinensis oil) is a plant oil from sweet orange, listed among the ingredients of a formula made without synthetic fragrance. The Revive+ Microdermabrasion Manuka Honey Walnut Scrub & Mask is fragrance-free, with no added synthetic fragrance. Orange oil contains limonene, the primary volatile compound in sweet orange peel. Beyond aroma, orange oil has been studied for antioxidant properties. Research on citrus-derived oils has also explored antifungal and antimicrobial activity; for example, a 1996 study tested oil of bitter orange as a topical antifungal preparation (Ramadan et al., International Journal of Dermatology, 1996). Bitter orange is a different citrus species from the sweet orange oil in this formula, and those findings do not describe this product. Citrus sinensis oil sits alongside aloe vera, manuka honey, and walnut shell in the Revive Face Scrub, where each ingredient plays a distinct role. Walnut shell powder provides the formula’s physical buffing action. The formula contains no synthetic dyes. Patch test the Gentle Face Exfoliant on the inner arm before first use, particularly with citrus sensitivity, as orange oil is a possible contact allergen for reactive skin types.

Frequently Asked Questions

​
How do you use orange oil on your skin?

The simplest way to use orange oil on your skin is through a formula that already includes it, rather than applying the raw essential oil on its own. Orange oil (Citrus sinensis oil) comes from sweet orange, and it is known for its fresh citrus character. Sweet orange peel’s primary volatile compound is limonene. Orange oil has also been studied for antioxidant properties. In the Revive+ Microdermabrasion Manuka Honey Walnut Scrub & Mask, orange oil sits alongside aloe vera, manuka honey, and walnut shell powder. The walnut powder provides physical exfoliation, and the formula is fragrance-free with no synthetic dyes. One important step before you start: patch test on the inner arm before first use, especially if you have citrus sensitivity, since orange oil is a possible contact allergen for reactive skin types. If your skin stays calm, work the product into your regular routine as directed.
