Unleash the Zest of Nature: Lemon Extract for Radiant Skin and Hair

Lemon Extract, derived from the vibrant citrus fruit Citrus limon, is a powerhouse of natural goodness for cosmetic formulations. This potent extract is rich in alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), particularly citric acid, along with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a versatile ingredient for a wide range of beauty products.

Cosmetic Applications:

• Skin Brightening and Tone Enhancement: Lemon Extract's natural AHAs gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, more even complexion. It helps diminish the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes.
• Oil Control and Acne Management: The astringent properties of Lemon Extract help regulate sebum production, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. Its antibacterial and antiseptic qualities can also assist in clearing breakouts.
• Hair Care: Lemon Extract can add shine and luster to hair while also helping to balance the scalp's pH. Its clarifying properties can remove product buildup and excess oil.
• Anti-Aging Benefits: The antioxidants in Lemon Extract, such as vitamin C, combat free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
• Aromatherapy: The invigorating citrus scent of Lemon Extract can uplift the mood and promote relaxation, making it a popular addition to bath and body products.
• Nail Care: Lemon extract can help to strengthen nails, and diminish yellowing.

Areas of Use in Cosmetics:

• Facial cleansers and toners
• Serums and moisturizers
• Exfoliating scrubs and masks
• Body lotions and washes
• Shampoos and conditioners
• Nail care products
• Bath Bombs
• Handmade soaps

Formulation Tips:

• Lemon Extract is water-soluble and can be easily incorporated into aqueous formulations.
• It is recommended to use Lemon Extract in concentrations of 1-5% in cosmetic formulations.
• Due to its acidic nature, it's important to adjust the pH of the final product to a skin-friendly level (around pH 5-6).
• When using Lemon Extract in leave-on products, always recommend sunscreen use due to its potential to increase sun sensitivity.
