Key Lime Essential Oil 3 Dram / 10 mL

DETAILS

Remedy's Nutrition® Key Lime essential oil is obtained from the peel of the Citrus × aurantiifolia fruit, native to Southeast Asia but naturalized in the Florida Keys. It is also known as West Indian lime, Bartender's Lime, Omani Lime, or Mexican Lime.

Key Lime is highly valued for its characteristic and unique flavor. The name comes from its association with our Florida Keys, where it's best known as the flavoring ingredient in the delicious Key Lime Pie. 

Remedy's Nutrition® Key Lime essential oil is extracted through a steam distillation process. It has a citrus, tart, zesty, and fresh aroma, characteristic of the fruit.

DOSAGE

Key Lime essential oil is concentrated and potent; a couple of drops are usually enough for topical use and aromatherapy. 

When using Key Lime oil on your skin, make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or avocado oil. Always do a patch test. Remedy's Nutrition® Key Lime essential oil is in its pure and undiluted state. Start with small amounts: three drops in a teaspoon of carrier oil. If tolerated, you may increase the ratio until the desired effect is obtained. Avoid direct sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying Key Lime oil topically.

• For healthy-looking skin, blend Key Lime with a carrier oil, and apply it to the skin. 
• For a cleansing massage, combine a few drops of Key Lime oil with a carrier oil and apply to the desired area. You can add a few drops of Key Lime oil to your body lotion, or massage oil.
• To elevate mood, rub your hands with 1-2 drops of Key Lime essential oil, bring your hands over your nose and inhale.
• For an uplifting environment, add Key Lime oil to your favorite diffuser.
• To make your DIY cleaner, combine a couple of drops of Key Lime oil with water in a spray bottle, and clean any area that needs it.
