Introduction
Lemon essential oil is extracted from fresh lemon peels through cold pressing. It has a light yellow color and a fresh, bright aroma with a rich citrus flavor. Its primary component is limonene (approximately 70%-80%), and it also contains citronellal and nerol, making it a versatile essential oil with a wide range of uses.
How to Use
Cleaning and Deodorizing: Add 1-2 drops to dishwashing liquid when washing dishes to enhance cleaning power. Add 1 drop to hand washing to remove odors from fish, shrimp, and onions.

Skincare Aid: Dilute 1 drop of essential oil in 10ml of a carrier oil (such as jojoba oil) and massage into the skin to improve dullness (avoiding the eye area).
