INCI: Citrus limon peel oil

Lemon Pure Essential Oil is a bright citrus essential oil cold expressed from fresh lemon peel and used in personal care and home-care fragrance blends. It has a zesty aroma and is especially popular in soaps, shampoos, deodorising blends, diffusers, and cleaning products. This is a concentrated essential oil rather than a ready-to-use body oil, so it should always be used at low levels and properly diluted. Because it is a photosensitive citrus oil, sun caution matters after topical use.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Lemon Pure Essential Oil because it brings a clean, unmistakably fresh citrus note that works beautifully across both home and body blends. It is one of the easiest ways to brighten a formula or diffuser blend without making it feel heavy.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Q: Why does Lemon Pure Essential Oil require sun caution?
A: It can be photosensitising, which means skin may react more strongly to sunlight after topical use.

Q: Can Lemon Pure Essential Oil be used directly on the skin?
A: No. It should always be diluted in a suitable carrier or finished product.

Q: What is cold expression?
A: It is a mechanical method used to extract aromatic compounds from citrus peel without steam distillation.

Q: Can Lemon Pure Essential Oil be added to water for a spray?
A: Essential oils do not dissolve in water, so a suitable solubiliser or spray base is needed.
