Description

Why should I add Lime oil to my collection? Its unique chemical makeup is what makes Lime essential oil so fragrant, aromatically uplifting, and contributes to its cleansing abilities. Due to its high limonene content, Lime oil has strong topical cleansing benefits and refreshing, citrusy aroma that can freshen the air when diffused. Another one of the primary constituents of Lime essential oil, beta pinene, contributes to its fresh, invigorating scent.
