Citrus Limon Peel Oil
Citrus Limon Peel Oil is a fresh, zesty essential oil cold-pressed from the rind of Italian and Spanish lemons. It brings a bright, uplifting scent to skincare and haircare while helping to cleanse and refresh the skin. Widely used in UK beauty products for its natural fragrance and gentle purifying properties.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Citrus Limon Peel Oil functions primarily as a fragrance and cleansing agent. Its naturally occurring limonene and citral content give it mild astringent and degreasing qualities, making it useful in toners, cleansers, shower gels and clarifying hair products. When properly diluted it can lend a fresh, uplifting scent while contributing to the overall sensory experience of the formula.
