Functions

Antioxidant

Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Chelating

Grabs onto metal ions in water that would destabilize the formula. Keeps your product from going bad or changing color.

Anti-Aging

Targets fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness. Works by boosting collagen, speeding cell turnover, or both.

Astringent

Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.

Antimicrobial

Keeps your product from growing bacteria, mold, or yeast. Without these, that jar of cream becomes a petri dish in about a week.

Neutralizes Free Radicals

Traditional Use

Citrus medica (citron) is one of the oldest cultivated citrus fruits, used in traditional medicine across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cultures for its astringent and antiseptic properties. Historical skincare application for treating blemishes and oily skin.
