Furanocoumarins are a class of organic chemical compounds believed to cause skin allergies.
To enable perfumers to use citrus oils creatively without exceeding furanocoumarin levels permitted in consumer products, flavour and fragrance specialist Treatt is now offering a range of reduced furanocoumarin citrus oils, developed for use in fragrance and cosmetic applications.
The oils, which come in bergamot, lemon, lime and grapefruit, capture the characteristics of cold pressed oils while keeping furanocoumarin levels low.
