Q: What does “expressed” mean for lemon essential oil?
A: It refers to a cold-pressing method used to obtain oil from the citrus peel rather than steam distillation.

Q: Why should citrus oils be stored carefully?
A: Citrus oils can oxidise over time, which can change the aroma. Keeping the bottle tightly sealed and stored cool and dark helps maintain freshness.

Q: What does Lemon Essential Oil blend well with?
A: It’s commonly paired with other citrus oils, herbaceous oils, and light florals to create clean, fresh aromatic profiles.
