OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Our Lime Essential Oil derives its essence from the vibrant, tart green rinds of Citrus aurantifolia leaves through a Steam Distillation process.

REPORTED BENEFITS AND USES
Vibrant, tangy, and redolently robust, Lime Essential Oil shares a rich therapeutic profile akin to its citrus counterpart, Lemon. Possessing similar astringent, toning, and mood-enhancing attributes, Key Lime Oil is a popular ingredient in facial and body cleansers, prized for its purifying effects and invigorating aroma. Renowned for its ability to promote a youthful complexion, Lime Essential Oil works wonders in reducing the appearance of fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and loss of elasticity. Its firming properties lend a tightening effect, making it an ideal choice for skin rejuvenation. Moreover, when incorporated into hair care formulations, Lime Oil imparts a luminous shine by smoothing the hair cuticle, allowing it to lay flat and reflect light more effectively.
In the realm of aromatherapy, the invigorating yet delicately balanced attributes of Key Lime Essential Oil play a pivotal role in fostering mental clarity and heightened alertness, while concurrently cultivating sentiments of positivity, tranquility, and equilibrium. Frequently integrated into blends alongside other purifying and uplifting oils, its synergistic effect amplifies both its revitalizing potency and its capacity to enhance emotional equilibrium and overall well-being. Moreover, Lime Essential Oil serves as a formidable deterrent against mosquitoes and other insects, as these pesky intruders exhibit aversion to citrus fragrances, thereby steering clear of environments imbued with such scents.
