Aromaland Essential Oil - pure, therapeutic grade, offered in various sizes. Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is cold pressed from the peel of citrus fruit growing in the West Indies. It has a distinctively green, sweet, citrus scent that is slightly bitter. This tangy scent is great in essential oil blends for an uplifting effect. It can also help boost concentration. Try blending it with rosemary and eucalyptus oils in diffuser during the work day. Topically, lime is a skin tonic and astringent, and great for the hair. Lime oil is phototoxic, so avoid topical use with sun exposure. Dilute heavily with use. Experts recommend diluting lime oil to 0.7%, which equals about 4 drops of lime oil per ounce of carrier oil. Avoid use with children and certain medical conditions. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Note: pressed citrus oil oxidizes quickly due to high monoterpene content; avoid excessive exposure to air.
