Lemon essential oil Organic

Botanical name: Citrus limon

Our organically grown lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the rinds of freshly harvested lemons cultivated in sunny orchards that line the mountainsides of Italy. We love using lemon essential oil in our DIY cleaning products that harness the purifying nature of lemon to effectively cleanse and brighten a space.

The bright yellow rinds of the fruits of the Citrus limon tree create a magically sweet, citrusy essential oil.

This bright, refreshing essential oil can also help boost the immune system.

Emotionally and energetically, lemon essential oil brings an element of sparkle to a blend and can help lift a cloud of depression or ease emotional tension. It invites happiness and positive energy wherever it goes

Since lemon oil is very volatile, the bottle should be tightly closed, and when used, several standard dosages should be increased.

• To improve the performance of cosmetics, for every 5 grams of your finished composition, add 3 drops of this ester.

Important: essential oils are highly concentrated vegetable essences, so they require dilution with carrier vegetable oils.
