Lime Essential Oil 100% Pure

Description

Lime essential oil is a bright, zesty and revitalizing oil known for its uplifting aroma and fresh, clean scent. Cold pressed (or steam distilled) from the peel of fresh Citrus latifolia (Persian lime) fruit, this oil delivers a crisp, citrusy-green scent that enlivens the senses and refreshes the mood. It’s a favorite in natural cleaning, mood-boosting blends and energizing diffuser formulas.

⚠️ Note: Cold-pressed Lime oil is phototoxic; avoid sun exposure after topical use. Steam-distilled Lime is non-phototoxic.

Why People Love It

• Morning energy: a crisp aroma to start the day
• Sharpens focus and mental clarity: an alerting scent without overstimulation

Aroma Chemistry

Lime essential oil contains a refreshing profile of aroma compounds:

• Limonene: the main aroma molecule, responsible for lime’s bright, juicy citrus scent
• Gamma-Terpinene: adds a fresh, slightly herbal citrus note
• Beta-Pinene: contributes a crisp, piney freshness
• Citral (in smaller amounts): provides a zesty, lemony aromatic punch

These constituents make Lime an ideal choice for mental clarity, uplifting blends and natural home care. A Nebulizing Diffuser® diffuses the whole oil with no water or heat, so you smell every note.
