Additional Ingredients

• Lemon-Based Essential Oils: Generally considered safe for use in soap and skincare products, but with some precautions. Lemon essential oil is popular for its refreshing scent and potential skin benefits, including astringent and antimicrobial properties.

• Turmeric: Generally safe for use in skincare products. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial for the skin. It's often used to improve skin tone and reduce scarring or inflammation. However, turmeric can sometimes cause a mild staining of the skin, which is temporary, and may cause allergic reactions or irritation in some individuals, especially those with sensitive skin. As with any ingredient, a patch test is recommended to check for any adverse reactions before using it widely on the skin.

 

Important note about the risks of using lemon based essential oils in skincare products:

• Photosensitivity: Lemon essential oil can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, leading to a higher risk of sunburn. It's crucial to use sun protection if you're using products containing lemon essential oil, especially on exposed skin areas.

• Skin Irritation: Like other citrus oils, lemon essential oil can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, especially if used in high concentrations. It's recommended to dilute it appropriately in the soap formulation.

In summary, while the risks associated with lemon essential oil are reduced in a wash-off soap format, it is still prudent to be cautious, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions. As always, patch testing any new product containing lemon oil is advisable.
