Antioxidant ingredient
Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Extract
Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Extract is derived from the fruit and peel of the tangerine (mandarin orange, Citrus tangerina). It is notable for its polymethoxylated flavones — nobiletin and tangeretin — which are potent antioxidants with additional anti-inflammatory activity. The extract also provides hesperidin (a citrus bioflavonoid), carotenoids, and vitamin C precursors. Used as the headline active in Korean 'Vita C' skincare formulas (notably Goodal's Green Tangerine line) for antioxidant protection and skin brightening.
