Product Description

Add more zest to your space with the bright, cheerful scent of Lime Essential Oil. Cold pressed from the peel of fresh limes, this essential oil has a citrusy aroma that’s sweet, crisp, clean, and invigorating. It’s perfect for DIY cleaning, skincare and haircare, aromatherapy, and more.

Lime is high in citric acid, limonene, and Vitamin C. Together, these compounds make Lime essential oil one of nature’s most potent disinfecting agents. Lime essential oil breaks down dirt and grime while neutralizing bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, and allergens. It helps leave your home squeaky-clean while infusing the air with an irresistible scent the whole family loves.

Other Lime essential oil benefits include boosting mental clarity, inspiring creativity, and reducing burnout. When you need a mid-day energy burst, try inhaling or diffusing Lime instead of reaching for that second (or third!) cup of coffee. Lime can help you focus more deeply for longer periods of time, which makes it an excellent oil for studying or working from home.

Try using Lime oil for skincare to lighten scars, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help replenish your skin’s natural protective barrier. You can also use Lime in haircare products to store healthy shine to dry, damaged, or over-processed hair.

Faqs

Lime Essential Oil FAQ

  • What is Lime essential oil good for?

    Lime essential oil has many uses for skincare, haircare, and cleaning, as well as aromatherapy. We love using Lime oil (and blends containing Lime) to freshen the air. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, Lime eliminates odor-causing bacteria, pollutants, and allergens. Its bright, zesty scent also fills any space with uplifting energy that inspires the senses and invigorates the mind. Try diffusing Lime in the wintertime to offset seasonal depression and feel more energized on cold, dark mornings.

  • Can you add Lime essential oil to water?

    No. Lime essential oil is for external use only and should never be consumed orally. Never use any essential oils internally. Do not add them to beverages or recipes. If you’re craving lime water, simply add a slice of fresh lime fruit instead! 

  • Does Lime oil make you sleepy?

    Lime essential oil won’t make you tired. However, this scent can reduce stress and anxiety, balance your emotions, and help you feel more calm and centered. When used for aromatherapy, Lime can enhance your well-being and allow you to sleep more soundly by creating a soothing, tranquil atmosphere. Try blending Lime with your favorite carrier oil and massage it into the soles of the feet at bedtime to feel more relaxed and lulled off into dreamland.

  • What are the spiritual benefits of Lime essential oil?

    Many essential oils are infused with metaphysical benefits that can elevate your spiritual practice. Lime oil is said to open the mind, allowing you to receive greater clarity and see through illusions. It also helps you see the world through someone else’s perspective, which enhances empathy and helps you feel more connected. When you meditate with Lime oil, its sweet and tangy scent can help you push through emotional blockages and balance your Heart Chakra.
