Lemon Oil

Lemon Oil, extracted from the peel of the Citrus limon fruit through cold pressing, is a highly aromatic essential oil celebrated for its clean, sharp, and refreshing citrus scent. This vibrant oil captures the essence of lemon zest, offering a bright, uplifting fragrance. Known for its purifying, invigorating character, Lemon Oil is a popular choice in aromatherapy, natural cleaning products, and skincare formulations.

In aromatherapy, Lemon Oil is renowned for its ability to stimulate the senses and elevate mood. Its bright, citrusy aroma is a popular choice for creating a positive and energized atmosphere.

The aroma is crisp and zesty, like freshly grated lemon zest, with a clean top note that fades quickly, so it is often paired with heavier woody or floral oils that hold it in a blend. It is popular in homemade room sprays, surface cleaners, soaps and candles, where its fresh scent carries well.

The composition of Lemon Oil, rich in limonene, gives it its distinctive bright citrus character.

Common Uses: Lemon Oil is a key ingredient in natural cleaning formulations for its ability to cleanse and deodorize. It's also incorporated into skincare products for its astringent, toning scent.

Blends well with: Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint, as well as other citrus and floral oils. These combinations leverage Lemon Oil's crisp and refreshing notes, creating aromatic blends.

Aromatic Scent: Lemon Oil offers a sharp, fresh, and unmistakably citrus aroma that is both invigorating and uplifting, providing a clean and energizing olfactory experience.

Care and storage: For external aromatic use only, never taken by mouth. This oil is photosensitising, so keep treated skin out of direct sunlight for twelve hours, or diffuse instead. If you use it on skin, dilute it well in a carrier oil. Keep the cap tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from children.
