Lemon essential oil is notable for its aroma-therapeutic benefits alongside its strong germicidal and astringent properties, making it particularly effective for managing oily skin and hair. Due to its potency, it is frequently included in skincare products aimed at addressing these specific conditions. However, it is essential to exercise caution when using cold-pressed Lemon essential oil in skin products intended for use in sunlight, as it is phototoxic. The oil should not be applied to the skin before sun exposure to prevent adverse reactions.
Due to its fresh lemon scent and cold-pressed extraction, this Lemon essential oil is highly recommended for natural cleaning because of its germ-killing properties. It’s also effective at removing strong household odors from cooking fish or seafood.
