Microcitrus Australis Fruit Extract Durchschnittlich Antioxidantien Anti-Aging Microcitrus Australis Fruit Extract auf einen Blick Fruit from the Australian round lime Natural source of AHAs Rich in antioxidant polyphenols Puts skin at risk for irritation Microcitrus Australis Fruit Extract Beschreibung _Microcitrus australis_ fruit extract comes from a citrus fruit native to Australia. Among its many names are _Citrus australis_, dooja, round lime, Australian lime, and Australian round lime. There isn’t a breadth of research yet demonstrating round lime fruit’s benefits for skin. As a plant-derived ingredient it is a source of antioxidant-rich polyphenols that have anti-aging properties. It is also a source of natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that some cosmetics brands claim serve as a natural exfoliant. While this is true, a more well-researched AHA for exfoliation, such as mandelic, lactic, or glycolic acid, are better options. Another drawback is that, as a citrus fruit, round lime contains volatile fragrance components that give it its scent and taste. Those components put skin at risk for irritation. All told, it’s better to select a more tried-and-true AHA exfoliant that not only helps skin renew cells gently but has hydrating and collagen-supporting benefits as well. This ingredient is also used in a blend called Wildlime Harvest by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics that also includes glycerin, _Microcitrus australasica_ fruit extract, _Citrus glauca_ fruit extract, and water. The typical use level of this lime extract, when part of a blend, is 0.5%. Verwandte Inhaltsstoffe: Microcitrus Australasica Fruit Extract Citrus Glauca Fruit Extract
