Kochi's yuzu-juice industry is the largest in Japan; cold-pressing seed oil from yuzu juice waste streams is a uniquely Japanese upcycled cosmetic supply chain.
Linoleic acid 35-45%; oleic acid 25-35%; characteristic yuzu terpene carry-over (limonene, gamma-terpinene); refractive index 1.470-1.475.
Premium face oils, balms, hair-treatment serums, fragrance-positioned body oils.
Cold-pressed oil extracted from yuzu seeds — historically a juice-pressing waste stream now upcycled into a high-value cosmetic ingredient. The oil is rich in pectin-like polysaccharides and omega-3/-6 fatty acids, with a distinct yuzu fragrance carried over from the citrus terpenes. Kochi (the largest yuzu-producing prefecture), Tokushima, and Tokushima/Wakayama drive supply. Functions as a non-comedogenic emollient with the additional fragrance asset of yuzu, used in face oils, balms, and hair treatments. Distinct from yuzu peel oil (existing yuzu-extract).
