Main Uses

  1. Aromatherapy: Use via diffuser, diffuser stone, air freshener or bath. Lemon oil’s bright aroma awakens the mind, relieves fatigue and drowsiness, boosts focus, purifies air and dispels odors—ideal for morning wake-ups, afternoon pick-me-ups, home freshening or low moods, creating a vibrant, energizing space.
  2. Fragrance: A classic citrus core ingredient, its fresh fruity aroma complements diverse fragrance styles. Add small amounts to perfumes, candles, hand creams, toiletries or car fresheners to lend a bright lemon base, balance heavy notes and add vibrancy. Ideal for fresh, energetic niche scents, it enhances top notes and balances overall warmth for a lively, refreshing finish.
  3. Nursing: Dilute properly with carrier oil for body massage and facial care (conduct a skin sensitivity test first). Its active ingredients brighten dull skin, regulate sebum and improve roughness, ideal for oily and combination skin. Diluted, it also freshens clothes and aids household cleaning to eliminate odors. Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.

Quality Assurance

  • Sourced from Mediterranean core regions, we select sun-ripened yellow lemons and use only their peels for extraction. Free of pesticides, chemicals, industrial pollutants and artificial additives, the oil retains superior purity, clear texture, natural actives and authentic citrus aroma.
  • GC-MS report is available, specifying limonene, citral and other core components’ content and purity. It complies with international natural essential oil standards.
  • Low-temperature cold pressing and sealed pre-storage minimize active ingredient loss and aroma degradation, fully locking in the fresh fruit scent and core benefits of yellow lemon peel for pure, natural freshness.

Precautions for Use

  1. Photosensitive warning: Lemon essential oil contains photosensitive furanocoumarins. Avoid skin exposure to sunlight/UV rays for 12–24 hours post-use; apply facial care at night and use sunscreen after body care to prevent sunburn and pigmentation.
  2. Concentration Warning: Pure essential oils should not directly contact with the skin or mucous membranes. It is recommended to dilute them thoroughly with carrier oils such as jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or rosehip oil before use.
  3. Sensitivity Test: Before first use, it is recommended to apply a small amount of diluted oil to the wrist. If there is no redness, swelling, itching or other discomfort within 24 hours, then you can use it.
  4. Contraindicated Population: Pregnant/breastfeeding women, infants, and those allergic to lemons or Rutaceae family plants should use with caution; consult a professional aromatherapist first.
  5. Storage Method: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from high temperatures and direct sunlight.
