Lemon Essential Oil

Q: What does Lemon Essential Oil smell like, and how is it made?
A: Bright, zesty, and freshly citrus with a lightly sweet peel note. It’s typically cold-pressed from the rind of Citrus limon; a steam-distilled version also exists with a softer aroma.

Q: Is Lemon Essential Oil phototoxic?
A: Cold-pressed lemon can be phototoxic. After topical use, avoid sun/UV exposure on treated skin for 12–24 hours. Steam-distilled lemon is generally considered non-phototoxic, but still 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). External use only; avoid eyes and mucous membranes and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Q: How much should I use in a diffuser, cleaners, or candles/soaps?
A: Diffuser: 3–6 drops per 100 ml water. DIY cleaner: 15–30 drops in 500 ml water/vinegar base (shake before each use). For candles/soaps, follow your base supplier’s EO limits and test small batches—citrus notes can fade with heat.

Q: What does Lemon blend well with, and how should I store it?
A: Pairs beautifully with lavender, rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, and other citruses (orange, grapefruit). Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place; citrus oils oxidize faster—aim to use within 1–2 years for best quality.
