Lime Organic Essential Oil

Our 100% organic Lime Essential Oil, also called Key Lime Essential Oil is cold pressed from the fresh, tart, green rinds of the Citrus aurantifolia fruits cultivated in the sun-kissed orchards of Italy. Our Lime Oil has a particularly bright, zesty, tart, slightly sweet aroma.

Unlike the commercially available Lime Oils which are considered to be highly photo-sensitizing, our Cold Pressed Lime Essential Oil is non-phototoxic and appropriate for use in skin care, or anywhere photosensitivity would be a concern.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.
