Cold-pressed from American lemon rinds. The sharp, clean citrus oil that works harder than any other in your collection.

Lemon is the workhorse. Where sweet orange is cheerful and grapefruit is energizing, lemon is useful. It cuts grease. It clears the air. It wakes up a room without being sweet about it. This is pure Citrus limon, cold-pressed from the rinds to keep that bright, sharp scent intact.

Most people reach for lemon oil more than any other citrus in their collection. It goes in the diffuser when the house needs freshening. It goes in homemade cleaning sprays because it actually works as a degreaser. It goes in DIY skincare for its clarifying, brightening properties. If you're only going to own one citrus essential oil, this is probably the one.

Why You'll Love The Lemon Essential Oil

  • Natural degreaser: Add to homemade cleaning sprays and watch it cut through kitchen grime. Works on stovetops, counters, appliances. Leaves behind a scent you actually want.
  • Diffuser staple: 5-10 drops freshens a room fast. Good for clearing stale air, cooking smells, or just resetting the space.
  • DIY skincare: Known for brightening and clarifying properties. Mix with a carrier oil for a toning facial oil, or add to homemade scrubs and cleansers.
  • Blends well: Works with lavender for calm energy, peppermint for focus, or other citrus oils for a layered, bright scent profile.
  • Cold-pressed from American citrus: Not synthetic, not steam-distilled. Real lemon oil from real rinds.

How to Use It

Diffusing: 5-10 drops in an ultrasonic diffuser or a few drops in a traditional oil burner with water. Cleaning: 15-20 drops per spray bottle mixed with water and white vinegar. Shake before each use. Topical: Always dilute first. 2-3 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil. Avoid sun exposure for 12-24 hours after applying to skin.

Photosensitivity note: Lemon oil makes skin more sensitive to UV light. If using topically, stay out of direct sunlight on that area for at least 12-24 hours. Always patch test first.

Goes Well With

  • Soapstone Essential Oil Burner Lamp: The traditional way to diffuse. A tea light warms the oil slowly, filling the room with scent and soft light. Lemon cuts through stale air beautifully this way.
  • Sweet Orange Essential Oil: The sweeter, friendlier citrus. Where lemon is sharp and clean, orange is warm and cheerful. Having both gives you range.
  • Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil: The energizing one. Brighter than orange, less sharp than lemon. Together, the three citrus oils cover every mood.

Sharp. Clean. Useful. 10ml of the one you'll reach for most.

Q: How is this different from lemon verbena or lemongrass oil?

A: Completely different plants. This is true lemon oil from Citrus limon, the actual lemon fruit. Lemon verbena comes from a flowering plant and has a softer, more herbal-citrus scent. Lemongrass is a grass with a sharp, almost grassy-citrus smell. If you want the scent of actual lemons, this is the one.

Q: Can I really use this for cleaning?

A: Yes. Lemon oil is a natural degreaser and has mild antibacterial properties. Add 15-20 drops to a spray bottle with water and white vinegar, shake well, and use on kitchen surfaces, stovetops, and appliances. It cuts through grease and leaves a clean citrus scent.

Q: What's the deal with sun sensitivity?

A: Cold-pressed citrus oils contain compounds that react with UV light and can cause skin irritation or darkening. If you apply lemon oil to your skin (always diluted), avoid direct sun exposure on that area for 12-24 hours. This applies to all cold-pressed citrus oils, not just lemon.
