Lemon Essential Oil - Information and Allergens

Lemon Essential Oil Description

The sweet smell of Lemon Sherbert supplied in a quality Glass Amber Bottle with a dropper lid. Heavenly!!
Botanical Name: Citrus limonum
Plant Part:
Peel of the fruit
Extraction Method:
Cold Pressed
Description:
Lemon was originally a small thorny evergreen tree native to India. It is now common in Southern Europe, Florida and California.
Color:
A light yellow
Consistency:
Light
Note:
Top
Aroma Strength:
The aroma is similar to sherbert lemons so does not have overpowering citrus tones.
History:
The fruit was well known in Europe by the middle ages, and Greeks and Romans were advocates of its therapeutic properties. Lemon essential oil reached the height of its fame when the British began using the citrus fruit to counteract the effects of scurvy.
Cautions:
Non-toxic, but may cause skin irritation in some. Lemon is also phototoxic and should be avoided prior to exposure to direct sunlight.

Usage Information

This is a concentrate which can be used in Soap, Candle and Potpourri making. This is also beautiful when burnt in an oil lamp to pamper yourself or maybe create a mood for that special massage.
This is a beautiful concentrate which can be incorporated with any of your soap or candle making materials to be sold within this country.
Candle Flash Point 46°C
Vegetable Waxes & Paraffin Wax Maximum Use 10%
Potpourri & Incense Maximum Use 50%
Bath Oils, Soaps, Bath Gels Maximum Use 10%
Lotions & Perfumes Maximum Use 5%
Cleaning Products Maximum Use 10%

Green Range Recommendations

Less is often more with Essential Oils so often just a few drops in a cosmetic cream or cosmetic body butter is perfect. For wash off products such as Melt and Pour Soap, Bubble Bath, Shower Gel, Organic Shampoo and Organic Conditioner try using 1% per volume so the essential perfume lasts in the product.

If you want to try a scented face cream or hand cream really try to keep the essential perfume at a minimum. 1 to 2 drops per 100g of product. Your skin will appreciate this.

Foot creams and butters you can add more but remember absorption into the feet is the quickest way into your blood stream so consult an aromatherapist if unsure.

Aromatherapy massage oils are heavenly but again keep your additions to a minimum and if unsure ask an aromatherapist. Adding the 100% pure oils to carrier oils such as grapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil is a great way of maximising the usage whilst being kind to your skin.
