Biochemica® Lime Butter is derived from lime peel oil and is obtained by cold pressing of lime peel followed by a full refining and distillation process in order to eliminate photosensitivity issues. Lime peel oil has the ability to relieve stress and anxiety through its aromatherapy action. Biochemica® Lime Butter may stimulate the circulatory system and reduce infla­mmation, and also contribute its antioxidant and skin whitening attributes when applied topically.

Large amounts of d-limonene, a very effective free radical scavenger, are found in this exquisite natural butter. In cosmetic preparations, the clean and refreshing scent of Biochemica® Lime Butter is very similar to that of a fresh squeezed limes. It exhibits excellent spreadability on the skin, making it ideal as a massage butter or carrier for treatment products. It adds moisturizing attributes to creams and lotions and bar soaps, and may be used in cosmetics, toiletries, soaps, massage oils and balms, hair care and sun care preparations.

Suggested use levels: from 3% to 100% pure (as a balm).
