Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the peel of the lemon (Citrus limon), a fruit believed to have originated in northeastern India before spreading throughout the Mediterranean and the rest of the world through trade and cultivation. Historically, lemons were prized for their bright fragrance, culinary versatility, and use in traditional household and herbal preparations across many cultures. Today, lemon essential oil is a popular ingredient in all-natural soaps, lotions, household cleaners, candles, and aromatherapy products, where it is valued for its fresh, uplifting citrus aroma and natural cleansing properties.
