Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

This product is cold-pressed Citrus aurantifolia, so it contains all the volatile components and natural colourants from the peel, with a fresher, more pronounced aroma. The steam-distilled version is lighter, lower in furocoumarins and more suitable for sun-exposed skin use. Cold-pressed is more intense in character.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml lime essential oil be stored after opening?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, cold-pressed Citrus aurantifolia oil typically keeps for about 2 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Is cold-pressed lime essential oil phototoxic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cold-pressed citrus oils, including lime, may contain furocoumarins that are phototoxic. Avoid direct sunlight for 12 hours after applying skin preparations. Dilute in a carrier oil (almond, jojoba) at 1-2% concentration. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
