Organic Lemon Essential Oil

Botanical name: Citrus limonum

Lemon essential oil is produced from the fresh peel of the lemon fruit using cold pressing, preserving the bright, lively aroma that has made lemon one of the most recognisable citrus oils in aromatherapy. The lemon tree has been cultivated throughout the Mediterranean for centuries and remains one of the most widely used aromatic citrus species.

Our certified organic Lemon Essential Oil is sourced from Greece and cold pressed from carefully selected ripe fruit. Unlike steam distilled oils, cold pressing captures the delicate aromatic compounds naturally present within the peel, producing a vibrant oil with exceptional freshness.

Lemon has long been appreciated for its cheerful fragrance and is traditionally used to refresh living spaces, brighten diffuser blends, and promote an uplifting atmosphere. Its crisp citrus aroma also makes it a favourite ingredient in natural household preparations and botanical skincare formulations.
