About

Lemon (Citrus limon) somatic embryo extract — biotech-derived antioxidant material. Citrus furanocoumarins photosensitise, so leave-on daytime use is best avoided despite the modern sourcing.

Function

ANTIOXIDANT

Skin benefits

  • Plant antioxidants from somatic-embryo culture
  • Standardised, contaminant-controlled material
  • Supports brightness and tone

Known concerns

  • Citrus furanocoumarins (bergapten) are EU-restricted photosensitisers
  • Citrus essential-oil components are EU-listed allergens
  • Limited safety data on somatic-embryo extracts specifically
