Lemon

Lemon, the fruit of the homonymous tree, is abundant in vitamins, flavonoids, carotenoids, coumarins, citric and malic acids, sugar, pectin and essential oils, among other compounds. In cosmetics, lemon extract is primarily used for its exfoliating, astringent, antimicrobial, antioxidant and whitening properties. It enhances the skin’s appearance by visibly reducing signs of aging and promoting an even skin tone. Simultaneously, it offers effective protection against pathogenic microorganisms and microbes.
