Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil

Citrus Limon Peel Oil is a cold-pressed essential oil extracted from fresh lemon peels, containing high concentrations of limonene (typically 60-70%) along with citral, pinene, and other terpenes. This volatile oil provides a bright, fresh citrus fragrance while offering natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, though it can increase photosensitivity due to its furocoumarins content. Formulators value it for its uplifting scent profile and natural preservation benefits, but must consider its potential for causing allergic reactions and phototoxicity in leave-on products.
