Lemon peel, the outer rind of the Citrus limon fruit, is a nutrient-rich byproduct often more powerful than the juice itself. Scientifically, it contains high concentrations of vitamin C, citric acid, flavonoids like hesperidin, and essential oils such as limonene. These compounds work synergistically to brighten the skin, exfoliate dead cells, and neutralize free radicals, supporting a healthy, glowing complexion.

Research shows lemon peel has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help manage acne-causing bacteria and improve skin texture. Its natural acidity gently removes excess oil and balances skin pH, making it especially useful for oily or blemish-prone skin types. At Nutriwellments, we use sun-dried, finely ground lemon peel to preserve its potent bioactives—offering targeted exfoliation and revitalization straight from nature’s citrus powerhouse.
