Microzest Lemon is a finely micronized powder made from upcycled lemon peels. Sourced from Spain, the lemons are initially harvested for their juice, leaving the peels as a byproduct, transforming them into high-quality exfoliants and fine powders.
Being 100% upcycled, Microzest Lemon is an eco-friendly ingredient ideal for cosmetic formulations. Its natural astringent and film-forming properties make it particularly effective in cleansing products. The high pectin content in the lemon peel contributes to a film-forming effect that imparts softness and shine to the hair.
Easy to incorporate into oil, wax, butters. Compatible with some aqueous formulas at a low rate. Good light stability in oil, butter and glycerin.
Microzest powders are finely micronized from algae, plants, or minerals, offering a natural solution for creating solid or powder-based cosmetic products. In addition to serving as bulking or filling agents, they bring valuable cosmetic benefits, including film-forming, astringent, absorbent, soothing, antioxidant, stimulating, and mattifying properties.
