Bioherba's lemon essential oil is obtained by cold-pressing the peel of fresh lemons, a method that preserves the fruit's bright, uplifting citrus aroma. The product is concentrated and is used diluted in a carrier oil or cosmetic base, as well as for scenting rooms.

What it contains

The main component of the oil is limonene, the compound typical of citrus peels that gives it its fresh scent. Its natural profile also includes pinene, citral and linalool, and the oil is traditionally valued in aromatherapy for its invigorating, refreshing fragrance.

Composition

• 100% lemon essential oil (cold-pressed peel)
• Natural constituents: limonene, pinene, phellandrene, camphene, linalool, citral, citronellol

How to use

To scent a room, add a few drops to water in an aroma lamp or diffuser. For facial care the oil is diluted to 1-1.5% in a carrier oil or cream, roughly 3-4 drops per 10 ml of base. For body and hair a higher concentration of 2-3% is used, that is 6-9 drops added to a carrier oil, shampoo or mask. Do not apply the oil directly and undiluted to the skin.

Suitable for

It suits people who enjoy fresh citrus scents and are looking for a natural essential oil for aromatherapy, for making cosmetics at home, or for enriching hair and skin oils.
