Organic lemon
🍋 Description
Derived from the zest of Italian citrus fruits , organic Lemon essential oil is extracted by cold expression , a method that preserves its fresh and sparkling notes. In olfaction, it supports mental clarity and gives a boost of energy . In cosmetics, it is used in very low doses in complexion routines and to strengthen the appearance of nails . In diluted massage, it accompanies rituals of lightness and tone . Its zesty fragrance is also invited in cooking , where a single drop brings a clear aromatic signature. Use with caution on the skin due to the natural photosensitization of citrus fruits.
