What Lippia Citriodora Leaf Extract is & what it does
Lippia Citriodora Leaf Extract is derived from the leaves of lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora, also known as Aloysia citriodora), an aromatic herb. In skincare it is generally used as a skin conditioning and fragrant botanical agent, contributing a fresh, citrus-like scent along with antioxidant-marketed polyphenols like verbascoside. It appears mostly in toners, mists, and creams. Verbena-family botanicals can be scent-active, which is worth noting for fragrance-sensitive users, though no specific concern is flagged for it here.
