Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Bioflavonoid
What is Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Bioflavonoid?
Lemon Bioflavonoids are a group of polyphenolic compounds, primarily hesperidin, diosmin, and rutin, extracted from the peel and other parts of Citrus limon (lemon). These water-soluble antioxidants are valued in skincare for their ability to neutralize free radicals, strengthen capillary walls, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. They are often incorporated into formulations to enhance skin resilience and support collagen integrity.
Roles in Formulation
This ingredient serves the following purposes in cosmetic formulations:
Skin protecting
Forms a barrier to protect skin from external irritants.
Skin conditioning agent
Maintains skin softness, smoothness, and flexibility.
Tonic
Supports a light, toning after-feel—often combining mild astringency, refreshing solvents, and humectants—to prep skin and refine sensory finish.
Antioxidant
Slows oxidation of oils, fragrances, and sensitive actives to improve shelf life and reduce rancidity or color change; sometimes also supports skin protection from oxidative stress.
