- Product Background
- Cultivated for over 5,000 years, LEMON was prescribed to diminish fever or prevent various epidemics. Native of India and China, this plant was rapidly exported to America and many Mediterranean countries for its acidic pulp and highly aromatic bark. This yellow and pointy oblong fruit also enhances women’s beauty when applied as a “natural lipstick” as it stimulates blood circulation and gives lips a more intense shade of red.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Floral Waters Manufacturing Process
- Lemon water is obtained by steam distillation. During its manufacture, the aromatic compounds contained in lemon barks are extracted by steam distillation and then recovered by decantation. The use of steam helps extract active plant principles without changing their nature, and without organic solvents or chemical treatments. This environmentally sound process helps preserve the biological properties and olfactory wealth of floral waters. Lemon water is truly “active”. Given that water is frequently the main component in cosmetic formulations, it can be fully or partially replaced by floral water to help boost the effectiveness of active ingredients and add a delicate fragrance to your natural formula. These transparent and colorless ingredients are easy to formulate and suitable for all skin types.
