Lemon essential oil is one of the most used citrus oils in aromatherapy, mainly for:

• Scenting a room with a bright, clean citrus note; fresh blends for the kitchen and the home office; cosmetic formulas for oily and combination skin, always diluted in a carrier oil; and homemade room sprays with a crisp, just cleaned feel.

What is lemon essential oil used for? In everyday practice, people choose it for:

• Freshening up a kitchen, a bathroom or a workspace; morning blends for focus and study; skincare and haircare formulas for oily skin, open pores and dull looking hair, always properly diluted; and blends with lavender, rosemary or peppermint, where lemon brings the top note.

It is also a favorite in self-care routines simply for the way it smells: its fresh, energizing citrus profile makes a space feel brighter and helps you settle into a focused mood.

Lemon has a citrus, pungent aroma with sparkling lemon notes and a characteristic tart touch. It is widely used in aromatherapy for the sense of freshness, mental clarity and cleanliness it brings to a space.

It is essential to check your own sensitivity before using lemon essential oil. Some people may develop dermatitis. Avoid large amounts and do not use it continuously for more than 28 days without taking breaks.

Important: citrus essential oils can be phototoxic. Avoid sun exposure on the treated area after topical use, since it can cause dark spots on the skin. Always use it diluted and keep it away from the eye area.

Always run a patch test on a small area of skin to see how it reacts before using the product more widely.

To protect the quality and extend the shelf life of your lemon essential oil:

• Store the essential oil in a dark glass bottle, preferably without transferring it out of the original container.
• Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
