Lemon

Citrus limonum

Rutaceae family

Organically grown and pressed in Italy from the peel of the fruit.

Lemon is one of those obligatory essential oils, having so many uses it's simply unthinkable to not have a bottle nearby.

We buy our organic lemon in small quantities and replenish often as freshness is so important with citrus. Fresh and tart, this bright yellow oil bursts with vibrant good health. Lemon is considered to purify the air

Lemon is uplifting, as are all citruses but lemon is particularly strong in its ability to freshen the air. Lemon is also known for its ability to cool.

Lemon oil can cause skin irritation if applied undiluted over a large area or allowed to float, neat, in the bath. So pay attention. Stay out of the sun if you have lemon on.

Lemon blends well with jasmine sambac, geranium, lavender, rose, rosemary verbenon, tea tree, ylang ylang.

Lemon blends with everything, really.

If you love citrus, try a few, Italian bergamot, grapefruit, distilled lime, pressed lime, mandarin, bitter orange, blood orange, sweet orange, tangerine...
