100% pure and natural essential oil extracted by cold pressing the peel of ripe Citrus Limon fruits. Originally from India, the lemon tree grows in southern Europe, especially in Spain and Portugal. It is a small tree with evergreen oval leaves and fragrant flowers, bearing fruit all year round. Its country of origin is ancient Media, between the Tigris and the Caspian, which is why the lemon was called the "Median apple" during the Crusades. It was carried by Arab navigators two centuries before crossing the Atlantic on Christopher Columbus's caravels.
