Did you know: Ships carrying lime in the 16th century were often called ‘lime juicers’.  

Expressed lime oil is produced in the same way as other citrus fruits, by pressing the peel of the fruit to extract the oil. However, expressed lime oil is extremely photo-toxic and should be avoided. Lotus Touch does not sell this product. The alternative is distilled lime oil, which is by far the most prominent type. Most people prefer the distilled oil's aroma, as it more closely resembles the fruit itself. Distilled lime oil is widely used for flavoring, whereas the expressed oil tends to be preferred by the perfume industry. The two main sources of lime oil are Mexico and Peru. This oil is from Mexico and is a delightful oil, very reminiscent of fresh limes – a wonderful revitalizing oil.

Specific Safety Advice: Lime should be used in moderation by those with sensitive skin.
