A juicy lemon will always brighten your day - and your skin! 

What is lemon?

Oh, we all know what lemon is, surely!? Okay, for those of you who don’t, it’s a fruit that grows on a small, slightly thorny, evergreen tree that belongs to the Rutaceae family. The lemon tree typically grows in Italy, Asia and East India, and produces highly fragrant blossoms and shiny leaves as well as this bright yellow, oval-shaped citrus treat. 

What are the benefits of lemon?

• Lemon oil and juice are known for their deeply cleansing and brightening effects on the skin.
• A lemon’s natural fruit acids encourage the cuticle of the hair to lie flat, reflecting more light and in turn enhancing shine in the hair.
• Lemon oil is often used as a top note in perfumery, adding a refreshing quality to fragrances to directly delight your synapses.
• The juice is full of vitamin C which makes your skin glow and helps the complexion.

Where does Lush source lemon?

Since 2005, Lush has sourced bergamot, lemon and mandarin essential oils directly from a family business that have been producing citrus oils for three generations. While the lemons and mandarins thrive under the sun of Sicily, the bergamot fruits are grown in Reggio Calabria, Southern Italy. Grown without pesticides, the lemons are collected by hand and pressed entirely with their peel. The resulting liquid then goes through a centrifugal process that separates the oil from the juice.
