Aceite esencial de lima

Q: What does Lime Essential Oil smell like, and how is it produced?
A: Bright, zesty, and sparkling-citrusy with a crisp, juicy peel note. It’s typically cold-pressed from Citrus aurantifolia rind; a steam-distilled version also exists with a softer, less “peely” aroma.

Q: Is Lime Essential Oil phototoxic?
A: Cold-pressed lime oil can be phototoxic—avoid sun/UV exposure on treated skin for 12–24 hours and keep facial/body use at low dilutions. Steam-distilled lime is generally considered non-phototoxic, but always use conservative dilutions and patch test.

Q: How do I use it safely on skin and in massage?
A: Always dilute. Face: 0.2–0.5% (1–3 drops per 30 ml carrier). Body: 0.5–2% (3–12 drops per 30 ml). Patch test first, avoid eyes and mucous membranes, and use externally only.

Q: How much should I use in a diffuser, soaps, or candles, and what does it blend with?
A: Diffuser: 3–6 drops per 100 ml water. For soaps/candles, follow your base supplier’s EO limits and test small batches (citrus oils can fade with heat). Lovely pairings: mint (peppermint, spearmint) for freshness, herbals (rosemary, basil) for clarity, florals (lavender, neroli) for balance, and woods (cedarwood) for depth.

Q: Any storage tips or shelf life notes?
A: Citrus oils oxidize quickly. Keep tightly capped in a cool, dark place; use within 1–2 years for best quality. Discard if the aroma turns sharp or “solventy.”
