Vernacular Names & Parts Used

Mosambi Fruits Peel Powder, botanically identified as Citrus limetta, is commonly known as Mosambi Chilka, Sweet Lemon Peel, Mosami Peel, and Sweet Lime Peel. The outer dried fruit peel (Phal Twak) is the primary part used, traditionally sun-dried and finely powdered for cosmetic, herbal, and wellness applications. This citrus peel is valued in Ayurveda and folk traditions for its aromatic, cleansing, and skin-enhancing properties.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In traditional Ayurvedic understanding, Mosambi peel exhibits Tikta–Kashaya rasa, Sheeta virya, and Laghu–Ruksha guna, making it suitable for balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas, especially in skin-related conditions. It is widely used for skin brightening, gentle exfoliation, oil regulation, blemish control, and improving overall skin texture.

Mosambi Fruits Peel Powder is commonly applied in herbal face packs, ubtan, scrubs, and cosmetic formulations, often blended with Multani Mitti, rose powder, sandalwood powder, or honey. Classical practice suggests external use only, mixed with water, rose water, milk, or aloe gel, and applied 1–2 times weekly for natural skin rejuvenation.
