Standardization: 10:1 Extract
Lemon Liquid Extract – Standardized is a liquid blend of Lemon Extract and Propanediol.
Lemon's cleansing and purifying benefits have made it one of the most popular fruit extracts used in the skincare industry. Rich in Vitamin C, it helps bring back a natural glow to dull complexions and balances out the skin tone by improving the look of discolorations. Vitamin C is also an excellent antioxidant, supporting the skin's line of defence against free radicals and contributing to its natural rejuvenation process, which may help smooth the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles. This liquid extract is ideal for products such as creams, cleansers, facial masks, serums, and toners
With a plant-based origin, Propanediol is a biodegradable and petrochemical-free solvent that is NPA approved, making it an excellent corn sugar-derived alternative to petroleum-based Glycols for hair- and skincare formulations. It offers benefits and functionalities that include improved emollience, enhanced viscosity, non-irritating properties, exceptional sensory characteristics, clarity, and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, among many more.
The characteristic color of this botanical extract imbues natural cosmetic formulations with its innate hue. This means that the product colors that were formerly possible to obtain only through the use of artificial and often objectionable constituents can now be achieved through plant-based ingredients that impart not only their beneficial, skin health-enhancing properties but also their individual natural colors. It is strongly recommended that small batch trials be conducted to determine the dosage required to achieve the desired shade imbued by the extract.
The original color of Lemon Liquid Extract – Standardized is Clear to Pale Yellow; however, there is a possibility of this color changing, depending on the formulation to which it is added.
