What is Lemon Essential Oil?

Lemon Essential Oil is produced through a process of cold pressing the rinds of lemons. This gives it its fragrance of a freshly picked fruit. This cheerful, sweet, and nostalgic fragrance is enough to eliminate odors and make the entire home infused with the clean, lemon-drop aroma.

Being in the citrus class, it is quite versatile in making blends with other essential oils. A drop or two can be used to dilute most blends especially when they are heavier than desired, to lighten the overall aroma.
