Jeju Green Tangerine Extract, Eosidin®

The Skin Soother from Jeju Citrus

Green Tangerine Extract (Eosidin®, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract) is derived from the immature green peel of Jeju-grown Green Tangerine, commonly referred to as green tangerine. This extract is packed with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and skin barrier-strengthening properties, making it a standout ingredient for sensitive and irritated skin. Known for its delightful fragrance and rich concentration of synephrine, the extract is especially effective at soothing dry, itchy skin while protecting it from environmental stressors.

Curious about the science behind it?

Soothes Dryness and Relieves Itching for Lasting Comfort: Clinical studies show that lotions containing 2%  Green Tangerine Extract significantly alleviate itching caused by dry skin. Its hydrating and soothing properties provide relief and long-lasting moisture for sensitive and dry skin types.

Targets Inflammatory Markers to Prevent Skin Irritation:  Green Tangerine Extract acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory by inhibiting Eotaxin-1, a key marker responsible for inflammation, and reducing eosinophil aggregation, which is linked to allergic reactions. This dual action helps prevent and calm inflammatory skin conditions, ensuring your skin stays irritation-free.

Strengthens the Skin Barrier to Defend Against Sensitivity: This extract helps your skin build a better barrier—a protective wall that locks in moisture and keeps out things that can irritate it. That means stronger, less sensitive skin over time.

Protects Against Pollution to Reduce Sensitivity: Whether it's dust indoors or smog outdoors, pollution can stress your skin and trigger irritation.  Green Tangerine Extract helps regulate your skin’s immune response, reducing sensitivity and building defense against environmental damage—no matter where you are.

Why Choose Green Tangerine Extract?

• Sustainability:
  Green Tangerine Extract, Eosidin®, is produced using a sustainable up-cycling process. The immature green tangerine used to make the extract would typically be discarded by farmers to promote tree growth. Instead, these waste fruits, which account for around 10% of Jeju’s tangerine production, are collected to create the raw material for Green Tangerine Extract. This not only reduces waste but also supports local farmers by providing them with a new source of income and improving their living standards.

• The Power of Jeju Island:
  Sourced from Jeju Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Green Tangerine Extract, Eosidin®, benefits from the island’s pristine natural environment. Jeju's nutrient-rich soil and clean air contribute to the superior quality of the green citrus unshiu, making it a highly potent ingredient for skincare. The collaboration between Clariant Active Ingredients and Biospectrum has leveraged this unique environment to develop Green Tangerine Extract, ensuring a product that is as sustainable as it is effective.
