Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil is cooling and clarifying, it makes a refreshing tonic to all skin types. With astringent, antiseptic and toning effects, lemon oil can be used to balance oily, congested or acne-prone skin. With gentle antimicrobial activity, lemon can also be used for boils, fungal conditions, cold sores and warts. The deodorising and purifying effect of lemon make it a useful ingredient in formulations for greasy hair and in deodorants.

Avoid direct sunlight after applying lemon essential oil to your skin. In formulations for the body, Lemon oil offers an invigorating fresh scent and a detoxifying, toning action when applied to congested, stagnant areas including cellulite, fluid retention, varicose or spider veins, as well as rheumatic joint conditions. Lemon oil also has shown antimicrobial and immune supporting effects, diffuse or as an inhalation for coughs and colds. In aromatherapy, ​lemon essential oil is thought to aid concentration, ease agitation and calm the mind in times of overwhelm, indecisiveness or fatigue.

ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY

Do not apply essential oils to your skin undiluted. Some essential oils, when diluted are suitable for use in skincare formulations. Please contact us for more information if you are using essential oils on your skin for safe dilution ratios. Generally 1-2% of essential oil diluted in a carrier oil such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil is considered safe. Some essential oils can cause irritation even in dilution and are not suitable in skincare. 

We do not recommend ingesting essential oils. Essential oils are very potent plant extractions and can cause irritation and damage to your mucous membranes as well as other health risks such as poisoning. Ask our Herbalists about safe plant extracts for internal use. Store essential oils away from children at all times. Seek advice before using essential oils for children. If you have a skin condition, are pregnant, have epilepsy or asthma, or are in any doubt about any condition you may have please contact us or a suitable health practitioner for further guidance.
