Lime is the citrus family's most immediately cheerful member — sharper than orange, more tropical than lemon, with a tart, candy-like sweetness. Cold-pressed from the peel, it arrives undiluted and single-botanical.
Diffused alone, it creates a bright, energizing atmosphere; blended with bergamot and grapefruit it's a lively citrus combination, or with mint for something more clarifying.
Lime has a distinctive place in the citrus family, pairing naturally with tropical and woody aromatics that other citrus oils don't suit as well. Its limonene content also gives it genuine cleansing power in DIY natural cleaning sprays.
Like other cold-pressed citrus oils, lime is phototoxic — avoid direct sun exposure on treated skin for at least 12 hours after topical use, and dilute before skin contact.
