Lemon essential oil, originally derived from trees brought to southern Italy by the Crusaders, is a timeless treasure with a bright, zesty aroma. Cultivated on small trees with evergreen leaves and delicately scented white and pink blossoms, the lemons are harvested at peak ripeness to ensure optimal quality. The oil is extracted through a meticulous cold-pressing process, where the entire fruit is processed and centrifuged to separate the vibrant oil from the juice. Lemon essential oil is cherished for its refreshing scent and versatility, widely used in aromatherapy, cleaning, and flavoring. Due to its photosensitivity, it is recommended to avoid topical use before sun exposure.
