CITRUS SUDACHI PEEL EXTRACT

Description

Citrus Sudachi Peel Extract is derived from the peel of the Sudachi fruit, a small, green citrus native to Japan's Tokushima Prefecture. This extract has gained attention in skincare formulations for its potent antioxidant and brightening properties. Rich in flavonoids, particularly hesperidin and naringin, it offers protection against free radical damage and oxidative stress.

The extract contains high levels of vitamin C, which promotes collagen synthesis and helps even skin tone. It also features limonene, a terpene known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. These components contribute to the extract's ability to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Citrus Sudachi Peel Extract exhibits astringent properties, making it beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin types. It helps regulate sebum production and tighten pores. The extract's natural acids provide gentle exfoliation, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, more radiant skin.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used in concentrations of 0.1% to 1%. It synergizes well with other antioxidants and can enhance the efficacy of vitamin C serums and brightening treatments.
