Lime Essential Oil

Limes

There is nothing quite like the scent of fresh lime oil. It's sharp, tangy, and slightly sweet, like slicing into a perfectly ripe lime. Unlike steam-distilled oils, our lime oil is cold-pressed directly from the peel. This method preserves the bright, effervescent top notes that make the aroma so vibrant.

Honesty is key when working with citrus oils. Because our lime oil is cold-pressed, it can cause photosensitivity. This means you shouldn't apply products with it to skin that will be exposed to direct sun. For this reason, we only use it in wash-off products like soaps and scrubs, where the risk is negligible.

Lime oil is fantastic for cutting through grease and grime, making it a natural choice for cleansing formulas. Its astringent properties are great for toning oily skin, and its cheerful, uplifting scent can help clear mental fog and boost your mood. It brings a feeling of sparkle and cleanliness to every product.

We source our lime oil from Mexico, one of the world's primary cultivators of high-quality limes. The oil is a co-product pressed from peels left over from the juice industry. This is a great example of a sustainable, no-waste process that results in a beautifully bright and potent oil.
