Organic Lemon Essential Oil

Description

Lemon (Citrus Limon Peel) has a refreshing, uplifting, and energizing scent, and can help support a healthy immune system. It can be used in your cleaning sprays as an air freshener as well. Lemon is a natural ingredient that also serves as a home health remedy. The oil is extracted from the peel of fresh lemons using the “cold-pressing” process, which consists of pricking and rotating the peel as the oil is released.

Avoid direct sunlight when using any citrus essential oil since it might cause skin irritation. This irritation is known as photo-toxicity.

100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oil.
