Product Description
Experience the vibrant freshness of our Lime Essential Oil, a zesty and uplifting citrus oil steam-distilled from the whole fruit of lime trees grown in the West Indies, Mexico and Peru. Renowned for its bright, sharp, and refreshing aroma, this oil captures the true essence of freshly cut limes — a favourite among formulators for both fragrance and flavour applications.
With its virtually colourless appearance and crisp, invigorating scent, steam-distilled Lime Oil adds a clean citrus note to soaps, candles, skincare, and haircare formulations. In aromatherapy, it’s valued for its energising and clarifying qualities, helping to refresh the mind and promote a sense of balance and wellbeing.
Perfect as a standalone top note or blended with other citrus favourites such as Lemon, Sweet Orange, or Grapefruit — and especially vibrant when paired with Neroli for a more sophisticated, uplifting blend.
INCI Listing: Citrus Aurantifolia Oil
Frequently asked questions
What is steam distilled lime essential oil?
It is a 100% pure essential oil steam distilled from the fruit of the lime (Citrus aurantifolia), from the West Indies, Mexico and Peru. INCI: Citrus Aurantifolia Oil. It is Kosher certified.
How does distilled lime differ from expressed lime oil?
Expressed lime is cold pressed from the peel and smells like fresh zest, while distilled lime has a sharper, sweeter, sherbet-like character. Distillation leaves behind most of the furocoumarins found in expressed citrus, which is why makers often choose it for leave-on products.
Is distilled lime oil food grade, and which documents are available?
Yes, it is suitable for food flavouring use. We hold the SDS (GB and EU), IFRA certificate, EU allergens and food allergens declarations and specification on request. Use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
What pack sizes are available?
From 100ml up to 25kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
