Lemon balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is a lemon-scented herb which is traditionally known to relive stress, reduce anxiety, and enhance mood for a calm mind. This citrusy ingredient works great as a cleanser to clear out dirt, excess oil and pores.

Enriched with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, the cooling Lemon Balm helps to soothe acne, and heal sunburns and inflamed skin. Due to its antibacterial action, it also treats blackheads and whiteheads from the skin.

It is high in antioxidants that can reduce the harmful effects of radicals and protect the skin from damaging UV rays; thereby improving skin barrier functions. Lemon Balm also helps in stimulating cell circulation to ensure healthy blood vessels flushing intense nourishment to the skin, which delay its visible signs of aging. This in turn tightens the skin, making it look more firm and toned. It is thus, often used in formulations to treat aging effects on the skin.
