Description

Lemon Oil is a highly aromatic essential oil derived from the peel of fresh lemons (Citrus limon), a citrus fruit native to Asia. The oil is typically extracted through a process called cold-pressing, which involves mechanically pressing the lemon rind to extract the essential oils. Lemon oil is known for its bright, uplifting fragrance and its high concentration of d-limonene, an active compound with various therapeutic properties. It is a popular ingredient in aromatherapy, cosmetics, and cleaning products due to its natural antibacterial, refreshing, and mood-boosting qualities.

Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress:
The invigorating and refreshing scent of lemon oil has been shown to have mood-boosting effects. In aromatherapy, it is commonly used to alleviate feelings of anxiety and stress, helping to promote a sense of calm and clarity. Studies have also suggested that lemon oil’s uplifting aroma can help improve focus and cognitive performance.

Natural Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties:
Lemon oil contains potent antibacterial and antifungal properties due to its high content of d-limonene and citral. It can help cleanse the skin and eliminate harmful bacteria, making it useful in formulations for acne-prone skin or for disinfecting surfaces. It is often used in cleaning products for its refreshing fragrance and natural sanitizing ability.
