Lime Essential Oil

Lime essential oil is cold pressed or steam distilled from the peel of the lime (Citrus aurantiifolia), a citrus fruit believed to have originated in Southeast Asia before spreading throughout the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and the Americas through ancient trade. Historically, limes were valued for their vibrant flavor, fragrant peel, and versatility in culinary, household, and traditional botanical preparations across many cultures. Today, lime essential oil is widely used in all-natural soaps, lotions, candles, household cleaners, and aromatherapy blends, where it is appreciated for its fresh, bright citrus aroma and lively botanical character.
