Question 1

What is the difference between cold-pressed and steam-distilled lemon oil?

Accepted Answer

This product is cold-pressed Citrus limon oil, produced directly from the fruit peel without heat, by mechanical pressure. The aroma profile is sharper and more natural, closer to the scent of fresh peel. The steam-distilled version has a milder aroma but is more stable and not phototoxic, because the bergapten does not carry over into the distillate.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml lemon essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Citrus oils are more sensitive than other essential oils: store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle — refrigeration can also be used. Unopened, Citrus limon oil typically keeps for 1-2 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxidation can quickly alter the aroma profile.

Question 3

Can this lemon essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Essential oils are generally diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 0.5-1% concentration for skin preparations. Cold-pressed lemon can be phototoxic: do not expose a treated area of skin to direct sunlight for 12-18 hours. A patch test is recommended for sensitive skin; for use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
