## About
A window thrown open on a hot afternoon, and a light, sweet, buoyant citrus drifting through. Lime shares many of lemon's uses but wears them more lightly, and the two blended together are delightful.This lime oil is steam-distilled from the rind of limes grown chemical free in Mexico. That choice matters: cold-pressed lime is one of the most powerful photosensitizers and should never be used on skin, so we offer only the distilled oil. Distillation avoids the risk of photosensitivity altogether, which makes this a lovely oil for skin care. Try it in an aftershave, or in a lotion for oily skin.DetailsBotanical name: Citrus aurantifoliaOrigin: MexicoMethod: Steam-distilled rindGrowing: Grown chemical freeBlends with: Neroli, Lavender, Lavandin, Rosemary, Clary Sage and all other citrus oilsShelf life: about 1 to 2 years after openingHow to useBlend it with lemon for a brighter citrus accord, or add it to an aftershave or a lotion for oily skin.
