Our Premium Lime Essential Oil is organically crafted and cold-pressed from the fresh, tart green rinds of Citrus aurantifolia fruits cultivated in the sun-kissed orchards of Italy. This bright, zesty, tart, slightly sweet oil offers a refreshing citrus aroma with green notes.

Ideal for uplifting blends, purifying skincare, hair care, and natural perfumery.
