About this product
Lemon Peel Powder is shade-dried and milled lemon peel, the part of the fruit that actually carries most of its vitamin C and essential oils. Weight for weight, the peel is considerably richer than the juice, and it is what most people throw away.
Key Benefits
- Natural vitamin C: supports brightness and an even skin tone
- Gentle exfoliation: fine texture and natural citric acid (an AHA)
- Traditionally used for tan and dark patches: elbows, knees, underarms
- Supports oil control: useful for oily and blemish-prone skin
- Traditionally used for dandruff in hair masks
- Natural deodorising: also used in DIY household cleaners
How to Use
Brightening face pack: ½ teaspoon lemon peel powder + 1 tablespoon multani mitti + rose water or curd. Apply 10–15 minutes, rinse.
Body scrub: mix with curd or honey, massage gently over elbows, knees and neck.
Hair mask: mix with curd, apply to scalp, leave 20 minutes.
Once or twice a week.
One Real Precaution
Citrus on skin can cause photosensitivity: increased sensitivity to sunlight, which can lead to patchy darkening rather than brightening. Use lemon peel packs in the evening, and avoid direct sun for a few hours afterwards. This is the mistake that makes people say lemon "darkened" their skin.
Always patch test. Do not use on broken or freshly shaved skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it every day?
No: once or twice a week. It is mildly acidic and daily use will irritate.
Does it remove tan?
It is traditionally used for uneven tone and tanning, and its vitamin C supports brightness. Use it in the evening for the reason above.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Use with caution and always patch test. If your skin is very reactive, rose petal powder is a gentler choice.
Can I eat it?
Small amounts can be used in cooking and baking for zest-like flavour. It is primarily milled for skincare.
Do you ship to the USA and UK?
Yes: worldwide from India including USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Australia and Singapore.
