Lemons are having a cultural moment– from Beyonce’s Lemonade to N.E.R.D. and Rihanna’s “Lemon”. Herewith are four must-have lemon products hand picked by our citrus-loving staff.
Indie Lee’s Coconut Citrus Body Scrub is ideal for use on body and lips, which is a rare flexibility in a beauty market saturated with products that focus on single parts of the body. We love the lemongrass notes and the Thai vibe that comes from pairing this herb with coconut and jojoba (moisture-enhancing power plants that will leave your skin feeling smooth, polished, and glowing).
We love Williams-Sonoma’s wooden lemon reamer— not just because wood is a good alternative to plastic when you’re working with anything acidic, but because the ergonomic curve of the handle makes this reamer an efficient mechanism by which to juice lemons, limes, and any of your other favorite citrus fruits. The ridged surface efficiently extracts juice while minimizing pulp, and the sharpened tip and can be used to dislodge seeds. Use it to make our GC Turmeric Lemonade!
Bushwick Kitchen’s Bees Knees Meyer Lemon Honey is one of our favorite twists on this buzzy superfood. Wildflower honey is infused with Meyer Lemon rinds for a refreshing infusion that can be paired with cheese, drizzled over ice-cream, spooned into tea, and mixed into cocktails.
Fresh’s Sugar-Lemon soap is just that: sweet-smelling and clean. We love the effervescent fragrance and the way it combines zesty citrus notes and fruity florals– plus, it’s a hard-milled vegetable glycerin soap, so it won’t dissolve into mush once the bar gets thin. With a Shea butter base, it also provides long-lasting moisture. Inhale deeply, lather up, and enjoy!
