Lime Juice

Lime Juice (Citrus Aurantiifolia)

Lime juice, extracted from the fresh fruit of the lime tree, is a powerful natural ingredient rich in vitamin C, citric acid, and antioxidants. Known for its brightening, purifying, and astringent properties, lime juice is widely used in skincare, haircare, and holistic wellness. Its ability to exfoliate, clarify, and tone makes it an excellent addition to natural beauty routines, promoting a radiant complexion and a refreshed scalp.


Skin Benefits:

  • Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: The high vitamin C content helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes for a more radiant complexion.
  • Natural Exfoliation: Citric acid acts as an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), gently removing dead skin cells and improving skin texture.
  • Controls Excess Oil: Lime juice has astringent properties that tighten pores, balance oil production, and help prevent breakouts.
  • Fights Acne and Bacteria: With its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, lime juice helps clear blemishes and purify the skin.
  • Boosts Collagen Production: Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and reducing signs of aging.

Hair Benefits:

  • Clarifies and Removes Buildup: Lime juice acts as a natural scalp cleanser, removing excess oil, dandruff, and product buildup.
  • Adds Shine and Enhances Hair Color: When used in sunlight, lime juice naturally brightens hair, enhancing highlights and increasing shine.
  • Balances Scalp pH: Helps regulate oil production and maintain overall scalp health.
  • Strengthens Hair Strands: The vitamins and antioxidants in lime juice nourish the scalp, promoting stronger, healthier hair growth.
  • Soothes Dry and Itchy Scalp: Its antimicrobial properties help reduce scalp irritation and flakiness.

Holistic Wellness Benefits:

  • Detoxifying and Purifying: Lime juice helps flush out toxins when consumed or used in body treatments.
