Lime Essential Oil
INCI Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil
Overview
A bright, tart essential oil pressed from lime peel.
What it is
Lime Essential Oil is pressed or distilled from lime peel, carrying a bright, tart, unmistakably citrus character, slightly sharper than lemon.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Limes are grown widely across tropical and subtropical regions. The oil is extracted from the peel.
What it does in a formulation
Contributes a bright, tart citrus note to a finished product’s scent profile.
Why Lovebee uses it
Lime has a slightly sharper, more tart edge than lemon, and we like reaching for it when a blend needs that extra bit of zing.
Good to know
- Used throughout our blended topical products; sold on its own as a single-note oil, it’s intended for diffuser use only.
Common questions
- What does Lime Essential Oil smell like?
Bright and tart, slightly sharper than lemon.
- Is Lime Essential Oil the same as Lemon Essential Oil?
No — they come from different citrus fruits with distinct, though related, scent profiles.
- Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?
Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it’s intended for diffuser use only. You’ll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.
