Lemon Juice (Citrus Limon)

Lemon juice, derived from the fresh fruit of the lemon tree, is a natural powerhouse packed with vitamin C, citric acid, and antioxidants. Known for its brightening, astringent, and purifying properties, lemon juice is a versatile ingredient in skincare, haircare, and holistic wellness. Its ability to exfoliate, clarify, and tone makes it a favorite in natural beauty treatments, helping to enhance radiance while refreshing and detoxifying.
