Lemon Essential Oil

Description

Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus limon)

The spark of Mediterranean freshness.

Our 100% pure lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the peel of Citrus limon fruit. The aroma is crisp, clean and zesty, a radiant citrus top note that adds sparkle to natural perfumery and brightens the air in any room. It blends beautifully with florals, woods and herbal oils.

Each bottle is made of matte black glass to help protect the oil from light, and comes with a glass pipette dropper for controlled, drop-by-drop use. Choose the 10ml size to try it or the 30ml size for regular use.

• On the skin: always dilute. Mix 3 drops into 15ml of a carrier oil such as jojoba (about 1%). Never exceed 2% (6 drops per 15ml). Patch test first, and avoid sunlight and UV on treated skin for at least 12 to 24 hours.
