CITRUS HASSAKU/NATSUDAIDAI PEEL POWDER

Description

Citrus Hassaku/Natsudaidai Peel Powder is derived from the peel of two closely related Japanese citrus fruits: Hassaku (Citrus hassaku) and Natsudaidai (Citrus natsudaidai). These fruits are known for their unique flavor profile and significant nutritional content. The peel powder is rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, limonoids, and vitamin C, which contribute to its potential skincare benefits.

This ingredient exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells from oxidative stress. It may aid in brightening the complexion and promoting a more even skin tone due to its vitamin C content. The powder also contains natural exfoliating properties, which can assist in gentle removal of dead skin cells, potentially improving skin texture and appearance.

Citrus Hassaku/Natsudaidai Peel Powder may have anti-inflammatory effects, potentially soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. Its astringent properties could help in tightening pores and regulating sebum production, making it potentially beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin types. However, as with many citrus-derived ingredients, it may increase photosensitivity, so proper sun protection is crucial when using products containing this ingredient.
