Lemon essential oil is cherished for its fresh, invigorating aroma and stimulating properties. Ideal for use in an aroma diffuser or oil burner, it helps clear and refresh the air—making any space feel brighter and more energised.

Boost Your Mood and Mental Clarity

A known mood-lifter, lemon essential oil can help clear groggy minds and foster alertness. During exam season or periods of high stress, place two drops on a tissue and inhale slowly to ease feelings of panic or anxiety.

Headache and Migraine Support

Lemon essential oil is also valued for its soothing properties. Consider blending a few drops into a rollerball with a carrier oil (at a safe dilution) and apply to your temples to help relieve headache or migraine symptoms.

Skincare Benefits

Thanks to its natural cleansing action, lemon essential oil can be a powerful addition to facial products. When blended correctly, it may assist with oily or congested skin—particularly in the T-zone area.

Safe Usage and Phototoxicity

Dilution: A maximum of 4 drops per 20ml of carrier oil is recommended.

Phototoxicity: Lemon essential oil can increase sensitivity to UV rays. Avoid direct sunlight or sunbeds for at least 12 hours after applying the diluted oil to your skin.
