Citrus Aurantifolia Oil

Guaranteed 100% natural product

Lime oil, derived from the peel of the lime fruit (Citrus aurantifolia), is a popular essential oil known for its vibrant citrus scent and versatile uses. Lime trees are small, evergreen trees with glossy green leaves and small, round, green fruits.

The oil is typically obtained through cold pressing or steam distillation of the outer peel of limes, resulting in a highly aromatic and concentrated oil with a fresh, citrusy aroma.

Here are some common uses and benefits of lime oil:

Aromatherapy: Lime oil is prized for its refreshing and uplifting scent, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy. Diffusing lime oil in a room can help invigorate the senses, uplift the mood, and promote mental clarity and focus.

Cleaning: Lime oil possesses natural antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, making it an effective ingredient in natural cleaning products. It can be added to surface cleaners, air fresheners, and laundry detergents to help disinfect and deodorize while leaving behind a fresh citrus scent.

Skincare: Lime oil is often used in skincare products for its astringent and toning properties. It can help balance oily skin, reduce the appearance of blemishes and acne, and promote a clear, glowing complexion when diluted properly and used in moderation.

Digestive health: Lime oil is believed to have digestive benefits and can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and stomach upset. It can be diluted and massaged onto the abdomen or added to a warm bath to promote relaxation and support digestive health.

Culinary uses: Lime oil is used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages, adding a zesty citrus flavor to recipes such as marinades, salad dressings, desserts, and cocktails. It can also be used to enhance the flavor of water or herbal teas.
