Lime essential oil, certified organic
Bright, zesty, and refreshing, certified organic Lime essential oil captures the clean, uplifting scent of freshly cut citrus. Steam distilled from the peel of the lime fruit, this variety is non-phototoxic, making it suitable for use in daytime skincare formulations.
Lime oil has a light, sweet citrus aroma that helps create an energising and cheerful atmosphere. It blends beautifully with other citrus, floral, and herbal essential oils to bring brightness and balance to your formulations. In skincare, it can be used to add a fresh scent and a clean, invigorating character to cleansers, toners, and body products.
How to use
-
Skincare: Suitable for both day and night formulations, as steam-distilled lime oil is not phototoxic. Use sparingly at 0.1–1%, well diluted in carrier oils or emulsions. Ideal for refreshing cleansers, toners, body lotions, and soaps. Avoid direct application to the skin.
-
Diffusion and aromatherapy: Add a few drops to a diffuser or oil burner for a clean, uplifting scent that brightens the mood and freshens the air.
-
DIY cleaning and home care: Combine with vinegar, water, or soap concentrates for a naturally fragrant household cleaner.
-
Bath and body products: Incorporate sparingly into bath oils or scrubs for a revitalising, citrus-fresh aroma.
(As with all essential oils, avoid undiluted use and patch test before first application.)
