Historically, British ships that transported limes were called “lime juicers,” because the crew members depended on the high vitamin C content during long voyages.

Description

Fresh, tangy and fragrantly emphatic, Lime Essential Oil shares much of its therapeutic profile with its citrus cousin, Lemon, and has many of the same astringent, toning and mood elevating properties. Key Lime Oil is frequently used in facial and body cleansers for its purifying properties and uplifting scent. Lime Essential Oil can help promote a youthful appearance, diminishing the appearance of fine lines, patchy pigmentation and loss of elasticity. Lime has a tightening effect, making it perfect to use to help rejuvenate your skin. Lime Oil in hair care products help boost shine, by allowing the outer layer of the hair strand, the cuticle, lay flat and reflect more light.

In aromatherapy, the refreshing yet not-too-sweet properties of Key Lime Essential Oil can assist with enhancing mental clarity and alertness and can also promote feelings of positivity, calm and harmony. It is often used in blends with other cleansing and uplifting oils for more freshening power and a boost in emotional balance and well-being. Lime Essential Oil also works effectively against mosquitoes and bugs, because these buzzing annoyances react negatively to citrus scents and stay away from places where they smell these scents.
