Lime Pearl - Australian Skin Food

Lime Pearl is a natural source of AHAs extracted from the Australian Caviar Lime

Caviar Lime is a small tree endemic to the sub-tropical rainforests of North-eastern New South Wales & Southeast Queensland of Australia. It produces magnificent green to deep purple/black cylindrical shaped fruit, also known as Finger Lime which contains small caviar size capsules.

Lime Pearl is a natural source of AHAs that gently improves skin exfoliation with an innovative process through TRPV3.

Dead cells accumulated at the surface of the skin making skin look dull & lifeless. Exfoliation is the best way to remove them & reveal a fresher & newer skin beneath. Performed frequently, it helps keep a radiant look with soft skin.
