Organic Lime Essential Oil

Like many citrus fruits, the fragrance of lime in olfactotherapy is slightly soothing and reduces stress and anxiety. It acts in synergy with essential oils such as Roman chamomile, shell marjoram and true lavender. Rich in limonene, lime essential oil also contains a very small amount of furocoumarins, which makes it photosensitizing. When applied to the skin, this essential oil must always be diluted in a vegetable oil so as not to irritate the skin.
