Did you know that Citrus limon is our LEMON? With Limonene, B pinenes, and y-terpimene as its main constituents, LEMON’s benefits are many. We are going to be learning all about LEMON, so let’s get the basics covered.

Our LEMON Essential Oil is indigenous to Italy and is cold pressed from the rind of the lemon fruit. LEMON has a bright, clear, fresh citrus aroma.

LEMON can be used internally, topically, and aromatically. Dilute for sensitive skin, but LEMON can generally be used “neat” (undiluted). LEMON is also photosensitive, which is defined as having a chemical, electrical, or other response to light. What this means to you is that you need to avoid sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying LEMON. You can also use this amazing oil on the bottoms of your feet or in areas where the sun will not reach if you need to be outside.

LEMON blends well with Basil, Peppermint, and Rosemary Essential Oils and can be found in many of our blends, like Respiratory Blend, Invigorating Blend, Cleansing Blend, and the Metabolic Blend.
