Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil
Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil is derived from the peel of the lemon fruit. The source notes that "Citrus Limon Extract" is not a standard INCI-compliant name, suggesting variability in how this ingredient is declared on product labels. It appears across a wide range of product types including cleansers, serums, toners, and masks.
Based on the product types it appears in (brightening serums, de-tan masks, vitamin C formulas, and clarifying cleansers), lemon-derived ingredients are commonly associated with brightening and antioxidant properties. The source does not provide explicit clinical benefit claims for this ingredient.
Lemon peel oil is known to be potentially phototoxic due to the presence of furanocoumarins; use in leave-on products or prior to sun exposure warrants caution. The source does not explicitly state these cautions.
