WHERE IT’S FROM

D-Limonene is a monocyclic monoterpene found in many citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits. It’s one of the most common terpenes in nature; more than 300 plants across the globe naturally produce this clear fluid with a orange-like odor. 

HOW IT’S MADE 

When you purchase our D-Limonene, what you’ll receive is a thin, clear fluid with a light citrus scent—but that’s not how it starts. After cold-pressing peel oils from edible citrus fruits, a steam distillation process begins that eventually results in D-Limonene. This method produces the least amount of waste possible. 

WHAT IT’S FOR

In nature, D-Limonene functions to defend plants against pests and pathogens, as well as aid in pollination and seed dispersal. What does it do as an additive in cleaning products?

  • Acts as a solvent
  • Removes grease, stains and tar
  • Aids in degumming, leaving minimal residue upon evaporation
  • Creates a pleasant fragrance

Unlike other solvents, D-Limonene is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Consumers have caught on to the usefulness of D-Limonene and purchase the certain formulas available on the market to make their own at-home cleaners, in lieu of purchasing those made with chlorine or petroleum. Producers, you have the option to give them something even better: cleaners made with D-Limonene from Market Acceleration Group.

Orange Terpenes are a clear liquid similar to water, produced via the concentration of orange oil and used in a wide range of cleaning applications. While similar to D-Limonene, they contain less water and generally boast a more consistent aroma. Citrus Oils are concentrated forms of essential oils from a variety of fruits, including grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange and tangerine.
