Lime Essential Oil
A Fresh Boost for Skin, Hair & Mood
Lime Essential Oil, Citrus aurantifolia, is extracted from the peel of the fruit. Cold-pressed lime oil delivers a vibrant, zesty aroma, while steam-distilled lime offers a softer, sweeter scent with reduced risk of phototoxicity. Both varieties share the lively brightness that makes lime a favorite in natural skin, hair, and body care.
