Introduction
Lime Essential Oil, extracted from the vibrant green peel of the Citrus aurantifolia fruit, is a sparkling, invigorating essence that captures the essence of sunshine and freshness. Known for its bright, tangy, and uplifting aroma, it acts like a splash of cool energy, cleansing the atmosphere and reviving the senses. This versatile oil is a staple in both aromatic and cleaning applications, bringing a touch of crisp, cheerful purity to everyday life.
Extraction Method
Our Lime Essential Oil is meticulously obtained through cold-press extraction. In this method, the fresh lime peels are mechanically pressed without the use of heat, releasing their volatile oils and preserving the delicate, top-note compounds that define its characteristic sharp, citrusy fragrance. This approach ensures a pure, unadulterated oil rich in beneficial constituents, unlike steam-distilled versions which may lose some of the fresh, juicy top notes.
Key Benefits & Properties
- Energizing & Uplifting: Its bright, citrus scent is renowned for combating mental fatigue, alleviating feelings of stress, and promoting a positive, focused mood.
- Powerful Cleansing & Purifying: Possesses natural antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, making it excellent for purifying the air and surfaces.
- Immune Support: High in antioxidant compounds, it can support a healthy immune system when diffused.
- Skin Clarifying: When properly diluted, it may help cleanse oily skin and promote a clear, bright complexion. (Note: See safety caution below).

Common Uses

- Natural Cleaning: Combine with water and vinegar in a spray bottle for an effective, non-toxic surface cleaner.
- Perfumery & Fragrance: A key top note in colognes, perfumes, and scented products for a fresh, zesty opening.

- Bath & Body: Blended into carrier oils, salts, or unscented lotions for an invigorating sensory experience.
Important Safety Note
Lime oil is phototoxic. Avoid direct sunlight or UV exposure on the skin for at least 12-18 hours after topical application when used at concentrations above 0.7%. For facial use, a dilution of 0.5% or less is generally recommended. As with all citrus oils, it has a relatively short shelf life; store in a cool, dark place and use within 1-2 years for maximum potency. Not for internal use unless under the guidance of a qualified professional.
Awaken your space and senses with the crisp, clean, and cheerful burst of pure Lime Essential Oil.
