Stories from Nature
The lemon has its millennia-old roots in the fertile regions of South Asia, between India and China, and reached the West via the ancient trade routes of the Mediterranean. Valued since ancient times for its aesthetic and aromatic qualities, this citrus fruit became a symbol of prestige and vitality in classical cultures.
The extraction of essential oil for cosmetic excellence is primarily achieved through cold-pressing the flavedo, the outermost layer of the fresh peel. This mechanical process allows for the collection of the pure essence contained in the oil glands, preserving the plant’s molecular integrity.
An interesting historical fact reveals that, during the Renaissance, lemons were considered gifts of the highest rank, reserved exclusively for the tables of monarchs and nobles.
