Organic Lemon Essential Oil

Organic Lemon Essential Oil, Citrus limonium, is cold pressed from the peels of the fruit. It possesses a fresh, uplifting, lemony aroma. It is a pleasant and functional addition to cleaning formulations and air fresheners. Organic Lemon Essential Oil helps to clean and cut grease while imparting a pleasant citrus aroma.

Within hair and skin care applications, the astringency of Organic Lemon Essential Oil makes it useful for combating oily skin and hair. Within holistic aromatherapy, the bright, citrus scent is stimulating, but it also is said to aid in focus and concentration. Organic Lemon Essential Oil is often used by spas and incorporated into body massage oils, body wraps and salt soaks.

Our Organic Lemon Essential Oil is naturally abundant in limonene, a monoterpene that is highly praised for its many beneficial properties and that contributes to the fresh, bright uplifting aroma of the oil.

Aromatically, Organic Lemon Essential Oil is very versatile and blends well with other citrus essential oils and oils in the mint, floral, wood, herbaceous and spice families.

Cold pressed Organic Lemon Essential Oil is phototoxic. For leave-on topical formulations, IFRA and Essential Oil Safety Edition 2 by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young recommend a dermal maximum of 2%. If exceeding this guideline in topical applications, it is recommended that sun and UV exposure are avoided for at least 12 hours.

As with all of our organic ingredients, our Organic Lemon Essential Oil is certified organic by CCOF, a USDA-accredited certifying agency.
