FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

Concentrated Sunshine: Standardized as a 10:1 extract, Lemon Liquid Extract 100% Natural (Standardized) delivers citrusy benefits in a potent, easy-to-use form for skin and hair care. 

The Citrus Shield: Rich in Vitamin C, this extract helps awaken dull complexions and even out skin tone. Antioxidants support the skin’s natural defense while encouraging a smoother, brighter look over time. 

Naturally Brightening: Known for its gentle cleansing qualities, Lemon Extract helps refresh the complexion and soften the look of dark spots, leaving skin clearer and more luminous. 

Light Lemon Tint: With a clear to pale yellow hue, this extract may lend a delicate, plant-based tint to formulations. A natural way to brighten without added colorants. 

A Balanced Base: Carried in corn sugar–derived propanediol, this extract disperses seamlessly into formulations, enhancing clarity, stability, and texture, offering a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based glycols. 


DESCRIPTION 

Few fruits say freshness quite like lemon, and its brightening, purifying qualities have made it one of the most popular extracts in skin care. Our Lemon Liquid Extract – 100% Natural (Standardized) is concentrated at a 10:1 ratio, capturing lemon’s benefits in a form that is easy to add to formulations. With Vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps restore radiance to dull skin, promote a more even tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discolorations. 

Versatile and uplifting, Lemon Extract works beautifully in creams, serums, facial masks, and toners designed to clarify and renew. Carried in corn sugar–derived propanediol, it blends smoothly into formulations, ensuring stability and a refined finish. 

Note, as with many citrus ingredients, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure after application.
