This is a USDA-NOP certified organic, cold-pressed Lime essential oil, derived from high-quality lime peels through a careful cold-press extraction process that preserves its natural potency and aromatic profile. Please note that for skin applications, we recommend using our Lime Essential Oil, which is produced through steam distillation to ensure safety, as it does not exhibit phototoxicity and is suitable for topical use. This cold-pressed lime oil is perfect for artisans creating candles and household aromatic products. It boasts a rich citrus aroma that is more intense and natural compared to steam-distilled lime oil, with a subtle tartness that adds a fresh, invigorating scent to any creation.
Due to Lime's inherent antibacterial properties and its invigorating, bright, and tangy citrus aroma, the essential oil makes an excellent addition to natural household cleaning routines. It is particularly effective when used in the kitchen for disinfecting cutting boards, countertops, and bathroom surfaces, promoting a fresh and hygienic environment.
Lime essential oil also possesses antispasmodic properties that can be beneficial in soothing coughs and colds caused by congestion in the throat and chest. A few drops added to an oil diffuser can fill a space with a lively, uplifting, and revitalizing scent, enhancing mood and energizing the atmosphere. When blended with other essential oils like Orange Sweet and Ylang Ylang, it creates an exotic tropical scent profile perfect for relaxation or invigorating your surroundings.
Lime essential oil used in aromatherapy helps with respiratory problems, catarrh and sinusitis, and is also good for skin, muscles and joints.
