Recommended Usage Rate

Formulation Considerations
Mandarin Powder may naturally influence the colour, texture, scent, and appearance of the finished product. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight to help maintain its quality.
When incorporating it into water-containing products such as creams and lotions, an appropriate cosmetic preservative is essential to help maintain product safety and stability.
Potential Drawback
Citrus-derived ingredients may cause irritation or sensitivity in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin. A patch test is recommended before using a finished product containing Mandarin Powder over a larger area of skin.
