FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Candy-Like: Lime Essential Oil – Key Lime offers a sweet, tangy fragrance reminiscent of lime desserts. Fresh, uplifting, and just a little tart, it delivers a juicy burst of citrus in every drop.
Blends Well, Stands Alone: Whether used alone or paired with other essential oils, Lime Essential Oil – Key Lime is versatile. Its energizing aroma works beautifully in personal care products or diffusers, infusing any space with a feisty, sweet kick.
Bright as the Sun: Harvested from the fruit peel of key limes in Mexico, this oil is steam distilled to preserve its rich, natural scent. Compared to Persian / Tahitian lime-based oils, Key Lime Essential Oil has a stronger, juicier fragrance, giving your products a brighter, more refreshing feel.
Multi-Use Goodness: From soaps and lotions to candles, shampoos, and bath products — your creativity is the limit.
DESCRIPTION
Even more irresistible than a slice of key lime pie! Lime Essential Oil – Key Lime, also known as Citrus aurantifolia, is a delight. While similar to lemon, this small evergreen tree produces a fruit with a distinct sweetness that gives it a candy-like appeal. A perfect balance of tangy and sweet makes it an ideal scent for a variety of refreshing products.
Limes were introduced to Europe by Columbus and quickly became vital to sailors in helping prevent scurvy — earning the British the nickname “Limeys.” Today, Key Lime Essential Oil’s sweet, tangy aroma continues to captivate, invigorating the senses and adding a fresh, uplifting boost to skin and hair care, and even cleaning products. Whether you’re looking to brighten your mood or elevate your creations, this oil delivers a vibrant citrus experience, just like freshly cut limes.
