Lemon Essential Oil (Cold Pressed)

Cold-Pressed Clarity. Uplifting, Antimicrobial, Detoxifying.

Lemon essential oil (Citrus limonum) is cold-pressed from the outer peel of fresh lemons, preserving its bright, true-to-fruit aroma and full limonene content. Our lemon oil is standardized for limonene (55–75%) and beta-pinene (8–15%) — the primary active compounds with documented antimicrobial, mood-elevating, and antioxidant properties.
