Our opinion

A classic in your aromatherapy library, versatile, with a fine, delicious and fresh scent. It is worth remembering that all citrus essences can only be considered organic: the pesticides, like the essence itself, are concentrated in the zest.

  • Latin name: Citrus limonum
  • Other names: Yellow lemon
  • Origin: Italy or Argentina
  • Cultivation: Controlled organic agriculture - Certisys-BE1 control
  • Part used: peel of the fruit
  • Production process: Cold pressing
  • Quality: 100% pure, natural, integral and chemotyped - Food grade

  • Sesquiterpenes: bisabolene
  • Terpene aldehydes: citrals

Commonly called "organic lemon essential oil", it is in fact an essence, obtained by cold expression of the zest. This extraction technique also allows the collection of non-volatile molecules, such as flavonoids.
