Tales from nature
Lemon is a small tree originally from China and India today widely spread throughout the Mediterranean and has very fragrant small white flowers. The lemon extract is used a lot in cosmetics thanks to its multiple benefits on skin and hair: it is astringent, antibacterial, bleaching and antioxidant. It is extracted from the lemon peel, that is, the shell crust that is worked through a cold pressing process.
Hair benefits
The lemon extract on the scalp helps to eliminate the excess of fat and prevents hair loss by stimulating the growth, opening the pores and promoting the oxygenation of the skin.
Skin benefits
The lemon extract gives the skin a natural brightness and freshness, with a revitalizing and toning effect. It promotes the exfoliation of the skin, especially the fat and impure one. It reduces the desquamation of the dry or damaged one, improving its elasticity and stimulating the birth of a new and fresh skin, attenuating lines and wrinkles.
