Limonene is a naturally occurring compound found in the peels of citrus fruits, renowned for its uplifting fragrance and refreshing qualities. In skincare and cosmetics, it acts as a natural solvent, helping to dissolve excess oil and enhance product absorption while imparting a delightful scent that invigorates the senses. Additionally, limonene possesses antioxidant properties that can help protect the skin from environmental stressors, promoting a healthier, more radiant complexion.
While limonene offers numerous benefits, it's important to note that some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to this ingredient. Always conduct a patch test before introducing new products to your skincare routine. With its bright aroma and skin-loving qualities, limonene is a favorite addition to many formulations designed to brighten and rejuvenate the skin.
