High Quality 100ml Organic Natural Pure Lime Essential Oil Cosmetic Grade for Hair Care Aroma Diffuser and Candle

Lime oil is a volatile essential oil extracted from the peel (zest) or, less commonly, the juice of the lime fruit (Citrus aurantifolia or Citrus latifolia). It captures the fruit’s bright, sharp, and refreshing citrus scent in a highly concentrated form.

The name “lime oil” can refer to a few different types, primarily distinguished by their extraction method:

1. Distilled Lime Oil: Made by steam-distilling the juice, pulp, and sometimes the peel. This process creates a oil with a smoother, less “citrusy” scent compared to cold-pressed oil. It is less phototoxic and more common in perfumery.
2. Cold-Pressed Lime Oil: Extracted by mechanically pressing the peel. This method preserves the delicate, fresh, and true-to-life aroma of the lime but makes the oil phototoxic (can cause skin reactions when exposed to sunlight).
3. Expressed Lime Oil: Another term for cold-pressed oil.
