Citrus Glauca Fruit Extract description

_Citrus glauca_ fruit extract comes from a small tree native to parts of Australia. It’s commonly known as desert lime because it thrives in desert-like environments. Desert lime’s primary use in cosmetics is as an anti-static agent, though it is also used as a skin conditioning ingredient. Not surprisingly, since it’s a plant extract, desert lime fruit is rich in antioxidant polyphenols. Unfortunately, the volatile components that give this time of lime its distinctive flavor and scent also pose a risk of skin irritation, which is also the case with most other citrus fruit. The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review has ruled _Citrus glauca_ fruit extract safe as used in cosmetics, where the majority of its use is in rinse-off products. Its concentration of use ranges between 0.003-0.0051%.
