Lime Essential Oil 100% Pure

Description

Lime essential oil is a bright, zesty, and revitalizing oil known for its uplifting aroma, powerful cleansing properties, and immune-boosting benefits. Cold pressed (or steam distilled) from the peel of fresh Citrus aurantifolia fruit, this oil delivers a crisp, citrusy-green scent that enlivens the senses and clears stagnation—emotionally, mentally, and physically. 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.

Active Components & How They Work
