Organic lemon essential oil

Organic lemon

3 reviews

The lemon tree is a small, round tree that produces abundantly and its lemons are harvested several times a year. By squeezing the peel, we obtain the original essence contained in the cells of this fruit. Its fresh, light, penetrating and slightly sweet aroma immediately connects us to the joy of childhood.
