Yes, you read it right, when carefully dried and finely milled, orange peel transforms into a golden-orange powder that offers a natural, aromatic, and effective path to brighter, healthier-looking skin.

Just for your information, it has been used for generations in traditional beauty rituals. Orange peel powder has resurfaced as a must-have ingredient in modern natural skincare.

What Makes Orange Peel Powder Special?

We all know that oranges are rich in vitamin C; likewise, the peel is naturally rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and mild natural exfoliants such as citric acid. And all of them together provide a gentle and effective approach to brightening the skin.

Let us know a bit about them:

• Vitamin C supports collagen production, helping the skin maintain firmness and elasticity.

• Whereas antioxidants protect against oxidative stress caused by pollution and sun exposure.

• Likewise, natural AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) from citric acid can gently dissolve dead skin cells.

• Also, natural oils in the peel help maintain skin softness and hydration balance.

And so, as a result, you get a single ingredient that can cleanse, exfoliate, brighten, and protect.
