Lemon peel is a powerhouse of Vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids. In Ayurveda, its sour and pungent qualities are used to stimulate digestion, cleanse the liver, and cut through Kapha congestion. In skincare, it is a star ingredient, used as a natural skin brightener, toner, and exfoliant. It helps to lighten dark spots, combat acne, and leave the skin feeling fresh and radiant.
● For a Skin Brightening & Toning Mask: Mix 1 tbsp of Lemon Peel powder with honey or yogurt to create a potent Vitamin C face mask.
● As a Zesty Body Scrub: Combine with sugar or salt and a carrier oil for an exfoliating scrub that leaves skin glowing and fragrant.
● For Culinary Zest: Use the powder to add a bright lemon flavor to baked goods, marinades, dressings, and herbal teas.
We select peels from thick-skinned, organic lemons, ensuring they are fragrant and free from any wax or chemical sprays.
The peels are carefully zested, leaving behind the bitter white pith, then dried and ground into a fine, vibrant powder that bursts with citrus aroma.
