Fragrance oil - Lime 50ml

Aromatherapy with lime oil to boost your mood

Lime essential oil is extracted from Citrus aurantifolia, also known as Mexican or West Indian lime as well as sour lime. The oil is extracted from the peel of the unripe fruit by cold pressing, or from the peel and/or the whole ripe fruit by steam distillation. Lime oil has a sharp citrus scent that instantly boosts your mood when you smell it, and is pale yellow to light olive in color.

Lime oil can be used in an oil burner. Unlike steam-distilled oil, oil extracted by cold pressing can cause photosensitization and irritate the skin.

The lime is green when unripe and ripens to yellow, and usually measures about two inches in diameter. It was introduced to Europe by the Moors and spread from there to the Americas.

It is said that limes have a lower vitamin C content than lemons. People often carried limes with them on long sea voyages to prevent sailors from suffering from scurvy due to vitamin C deficiency.
