Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil
Brightening, Purifying, and Uplifting Citrus Essential Oil
Citrus Medica Limonum, commonly known as Lemon Peel Oil, is a zesty essential oil cold-pressed from the rind of fresh lemons. Packed with natural antioxidants like vitamin C and limonene, it offers both skincare benefits and an uplifting citrus aroma.
Lemon Peel Oil helps clarify and tone the skin, reduce excess sebum, and gently exfoliate thanks to its mild astringent properties. It’s often used in brightening formulas to enhance radiance and even out skin tone.
While highly effective, it can be photosensitising, so it’s best used in formulations intended for evening use or paired with sun protection. Found in cleansers, toners, and serums, Lemon Peel Oil adds freshness, clarity, and vibrancy to any routine.
