## About
Open the bottle and the kitchen fills with the moment a knife first scores a lemon: tart, tangy, unmistakably true. This is the scent of a clean house and an early start, and it smells like grated lemon peel, just as it should.The oil is cold-pressed from the rind of organically produced Italian lemons. Because citrus oil comes from the peel, the very part of the fruit a sprayed crop absorbs, organic growing matters more for citrus than for almost any other oil. It is a natural choice for homemade cleaning solutions, valued for its clean scent, and it has a toning effect in blends for oily skin and hair.DetailsBotanical name: Citrus limonOrigin: ItalyMethod: Cold-pressed rindGrowing: Organically producedBlends with: conifer and spice oils, other citrus, Atlas Cedarwood, Lavender, Neroli, Patchouli and PeppermintShelf life: about 1 to 2 years after openingHow to useAdd it to homemade cleaning solutions and room sprays, or to your own blends. Cold-pressed lemon is a photosensitizer, so IFRA recommends no more than 2% in leave-on skin products; the limit does not apply to wash-off products like soaps and shower gels. Store it in the dark and refrigerated, and decant a half-empty bottle into a smaller full one to keep it fresh longer.Keep one bottle by the sink and one by the diffuser: some mornings ask for nothing more than lemon.
