Lime Essential Oil 50ml Aromatherapy

• A brisk citrus opening, more zesty than sweet, with the tang of peel rather than juice.
• A light, fast-moving aroma that works naturally as a top note in home fragrance blends.
• The scent suits mornings, workspaces and freshly cleaned rooms, especially when you want a bright aromatic lift.
• Its colour may sit between pale yellow and light olive, a natural tone for lime peel oil.
• Beautiful with other citrus oils, and also easy to soften with woody, resinous or herbaceous scents.

This essential oil is taken from the fruit peel of Citrus aurantifolia, often known as Mexican lime, West Indian lime or sour lime. Cold expression presses the aromatic oil from the peel without heat, keeping the scent close to the bright, sharp character of the fresh rind.

Limes are associated with warm growing regions and long maritime routes, moving from Asia into the Mediterranean and then on to the Americas. In scent work, lime belongs to the lively citrus family, the oils often chosen for their clean opening impression and quick evaporation. It is the kind of note that appears at the start of a blend, giving freshness before deeper woods, herbs or resins have time to unfold.

Add a small amount to an oil burner or aroma diffuser according to the instructions for your device. For massage or skin use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Cold expressed lime oil can irritate skin and may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid use on babies and young children, seek professional guidance during pregnancy, and keep essential oils away from pets. Store closed, upright and out of direct heat.
