Answer

Usage of Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™)

Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™) is an active ingredient designed to be incorporated into cosmetic formulations, not used directly on the skin.

  • Recommended Usage Rate: The recommended concentration for use in cosmetic products is 0.5-5% (with 2-3% being the suggested optimal range).
  • Mixing Instructions: It should be added during the final step of formulation, ensuring the product temperature is below 40°C and the pH is between 3.5-7.

Using this ingredient directly or at concentrations higher than recommended can potentially cause skin irritation or other adverse effects. Always follow the recommended usage guidelines for safety and efficacy.
