For Your Safety
This natural product is for external use only. Please exercise caution and do not ingest or take internally. Store away from children, animals, sunlight and heat. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult with your medical care-giver before use.

I have always been obsessed with lime oil. And like anything. This product is no exception. It’s fresh, light and makes for a great top note in perfumes.
So glad to have found lime e.o. again. I use it in an antimicrobial salve, which works excellently, with the bonus of being natural.
Thanks, Essentially Natural, for stocking it!
