Usage
Lime essential oil is a high-quality, 100% pure oil obtained through steam distillation from hand-picked fruits in Mexico. Steam distillation creates a powerful burst of aroma.
It has strong detoxifying properties and helps reduce excess oil on the skin. Due to its cleansing action and pleasant mood-enhancing scent, it is often used in face and body cleansing products.
When mixed with hair care products, lime essential oil gives hair a fresh, long-lasting scent and shine.
It can be diluted with water and sprayed in the air to give your space a clean and fresh fragrance.
If added to household cleaners, it will provide degreasing action.

- Oil perfumes: Add about 10 drops of lime oil to a base oil. Apply where you usually wear perfume – e.g., behind your ears or on your décolletage.

It has astringent and toning effects.
Lime essential oil reduces the visibility of fine wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and skin elasticity loss. The lime fruit is astringent, making it ideal for mature skin. When used in hair care products, it adds shine and helps the scales adhere to the hair, reflecting more light.
