This is an automatic translation

Citral, a yellow liquid with a strong lemon smell, is an unsaturated aldehyde naturally contained in various essential oils.

It can be obtained by oxidation of geraniol or nerol with chromic acid.

It has the ability to give the products to which it is added a typical citrus scent, very similar to lemon.

It is present in many of our products.

However, it has a criticality: it is included in the list of allergens based on Reg. 1223/2009/CE, for this reason it must be declared on the label when used in concentrations greater than 0.001% in non-rinse cosmetics and greater than 0.01%. % in rinse-off products.
