LEMON PEEL

Lemon peel is the outer skin of the lemon fruit (Citrus limon), a citrus fruit known for its refreshing, tangy flavor and vibrant yellow color. While the fruit’s juice is widely used in culinary applications and as a natural remedy, the peel is often overlooked. However, lemon peel is a highly nutritious and aromatic part of the fruit, containing valuable compounds such as vitamin C, antioxidants, essential oils, and fiber. These properties make lemon peel an essential ingredient in natural skincare, wellness, and culinary applications.

Lemon peel is typically dried, zested, or used fresh to provide a citrusy fragrance and flavor. Its uses span a variety of products, including skin care, hair care, detox teas, and cleaning agents.

Lemon peel contains a high concentration of vitamin C, an essential nutrient known for its skin-healing, anti-aging, and immune-boosting properties. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, which can contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, and skin damage.

In addition to vitamin C, lemon peel contains flavonoids, such as hesperidin and d-limonene, which further enhance its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, promoting healthy skin and fighting off oxidative stress.
