The CO₂ extract of lemon peel captures the purest aromatic soul of Citrus limon — the same vibrant essence that has symbolized cleanliness, clarity, and freshness for centuries.

Unlike conventional cold-pressed lemon oil, which may contain photosensitizing furocoumarins, this CO₂ extract is cleaner, smoother, and more stable, offering the same sparkling aroma with reduced photo-reactivity and enhanced oxidative resistance.

The result is a pure, concentrated essence rich in terpenes, aldehydes, flavonoids, and natural antioxidants, ideal for skin-brightening, detoxifying, and energizing formulations.

It embodies the Mediterranean sun — luminous, refreshing, and endlessly revitalizing.

Supercritical CO₂ extraction employs carbon dioxide under moderate temperature and pressure to release the oil’s lipophilic compounds without degrading them.
This method ensures:

No solvent residues (100 % pure and natural).

Retention of delicate top notes and aroma complexity.

Improved stability and shelf life.

Lower phototoxicity than traditional cold-pressed oils.

The CO₂ extract contains both volatile aromatic terpenes and non-volatile antioxidant fractions (such as flavonoids and waxes), producing a richer, more complete extract than standard essential oil distillation.



Chemical Composition: 

The Lemon Peel CO₂ extract is a dynamic blend of volatile and semi-volatile bioactives:

Compound class Representative components Function

Monoterpenes Limonene (60–70 %), β-pinene, γ-terpinene Uplifting aroma, antiseptic, lipid-solubilizing
Aldehydes Citral (neral + geranial), decanal Bright citrus scent, antimicrobial
Flavonoids Hesperidin, eriocitrin, diosmin Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
Coumarins (trace) Bergapten-free in CO₂ extract Safer, non-phototoxic
Fatty components Waxes, vitamin E, sterols Protective, emollient properties


Together these compounds make the extract both fragrant and functional, providing antioxidant protection, gentle exfoliation, and brightening effects.
