Lime Peel

 

Lime Peel (Citrus Aurantiifolia)

Lime peel, the outer zest of the lime fruit, is a powerhouse of skin-brightening, purifying, and detoxifying properties. Rich in vitamin C, citric acid, flavonoids, and essential oils, lime peel is an effective natural exfoliant, toner, and antioxidant. Used in skincare, haircare, and holistic wellness, lime peel helps refresh, cleanse, and revitalize, making it a valuable ingredient in natural beauty formulations.


Skin Benefits:

  • Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: The high vitamin C content helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes for a radiant complexion.
  • Exfoliates and Renews: Natural citric acid gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and promotes cell turnover.
  • Controls Excess Oil: Its astringent properties help reduce excess sebum, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.
  • Fights Acne and Bacteria: Lime peel’s antibacterial properties help prevent breakouts and keep skin clear.
  • Rich in Antioxidants: Flavonoids protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors, reducing signs of aging.
