Lemon Peel

 

Lemon Peel (Citrus Limon)

Lemon peel, the outer layer of the lemon fruit, is a concentrated source of essential oils, vitamin C, and powerful antioxidants. It contains natural enzymes, flavonoids, and citric acid that help brighten, exfoliate, and purify the skin and scalp. More than just a byproduct of the fruit, lemon peel is a skincare and haircare powerhouse that naturally enhances radiance while promoting overall wellness.
