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 energizing brightness that makes lime a favorite in natural skincare.
Skin Benefits
Lime essential oil is a great skin tonic for dull sluggish complexions. It offers gentle astringent, antibacterial, and toning properties. Like other citrus oils, it helps:
- Stimulate microcirculation to refresh dull skin
- Balance excess oil without over-drying
- Support tissue regeneration for a more even, radiant complexion
- Gently tighten pores and help reduce blemish formation
Some also value lime oil’s antioxidant content, which may help diminish the look of dark spots and promote a brighter, healthier glow.
Hair & Scalp Benefits
In hair care, lime oil refreshes and invigorates the scalp, helping balance sebum production while offering an uplifting, clean scent. Its antimicrobial qualities can help reduce dandruff and buildup, leaving hair feeling lighter, shinier, and more vibrant.
- Balance scalp oil production
- Refresh and cleanse buildup
- Reduce dandruff with its antimicrobial qualities
- Add lightness, shine, and lift to dull or oily hair
Its clean, invigorating scent also makes it a favorite in clarifying hair and scalp formulations.
Aromatherapy Properties
