Product Description
Organic Lime Essential Oil is the most affordable grade of Lime Oil. Our organic limes, from Mexico and Sri Lanka, are harvested by hand and the peel is expressed to deliver an intense aroma and flavour, often used in both food and fragrances. This bright, zesty oil blends well with other citrus oils or can be paired with Neroli for a unique combination.

Frequently asked questions
What is organic expressed lime essential oil?
It is the organic grade of lime oil, 100% pure and cold expressed from the peel of Citrus aurantifolia, from Mexico and Sri Lanka. INCI: Citrus Aurantifolia Peel Oil Expressed.
How does expressed lime differ from steam distilled lime?
Expressed lime captures the bright, juicy, zesty aroma of fresh peel, while distilled lime is sharper and sweeter. Expressed citrus oils naturally carry furocoumarins, so check the IFRA certificate before using it in leave-on skin products.
Is organic lime oil food grade, and which documents are available?
It conforms to EU 1334/2008 for food flavouring use (FEMA 2631). We hold the SDS (GB and EU), IFRA certificate, EU allergens and food allergens declarations, typical GC 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 5kg, all priced online.
