Lime Essential Oil, Distilled
Lime Essential Oil, Distilled (Citrus aurantifolia) from Mexico is therapeutic quality essential oil produced through steam distillation. It has a light, fresh, true-to-lime aroma and is the only citrus oil we carry that is distilled rather than expressed, eliminating the phototoxicity that cold-expressed oil has.
The aroma is bright and refreshing – a true mood booster. Aromatically, Lime essential oil blends will with other citrus oils and with lavender, bergamot, neroli and wood oils. While you may prefer expressed Lime essential oil for aromatherapy, many perfumers and body care product makers use distilled Lime essential oil in order to avoid potential problems with phototoxicity. If you would like to opt for our expressed lime oil, go to: Lime Essential Oil, Expressed.
