Umuthi Lemon Pure Essential Oil is a bright citrus essential oil cold expressed from the fresh peel of Citrus limonum . Its crisp, clean lemon aroma makes it a favourite for diffuser blends, natural home care products, oily-skin formulations, haircare, and fresh fragrance blends. It brings a cheerful citrus lift to products and works beautifully with florals, woods, herbs, and other citrus oils. Unlike lemon juice, it is an oil-soluble aromatic ingredient used in small amounts in suitable blends and formulations.
♡ Why we love it: Lemon essential oil is one of those fresh, uplifting staples that makes almost any blend feel cleaner and brighter. It is especially useful for makers who want a simple, recognisable citrus note for home care, haircare, and aromatic formulations.
