🌿 Introduction Lemon Peel Distilled Essential Oil is a bright, sparkling, and refreshingly clean citrus essence obtained from the peels of Citrus limon through steam distillation rather than cold-pressing. This method yields a clear, low-furocoumarin oil that is both photo-stable and gentle on the skin , while preserving the lively scent of freshly cut lemons with a smoother, more refined undertone. Its fragrance bursts with zesty freshness and uplifting energy , evoking sunlight and clarity. In perfumery, Lemon Distilled acts as a top note of radiance and purity , perfect for illuminating floral, herbal, or woody blends. In aromatherapy, it symbolizes optimism, focus, and cleansing renewal .
