Lime essential oil is the kitchen citrus of the dōTERRA range, for those who love bright flavours. It is cold-pressed from the peel of fresh limes grown in Brazil, and keeps the aroma of the fruit, tangy and sharp: a single drop flavours a whole dish.

In the kitchen, one drop is enough: in a homemade salsa or guacamole for extra zing, in a salad dressing, or in a tall glass of iced water with a few slices of fruit on a hot day. Diffused, its rich citrus aroma transforms the atmosphere of a room. On a cloth, it removes grease spots and sticky residue from surfaces.

Lime zest always within reach, from the kitchen to the cleaning.

Principaux bienfaits :
  • Cold-pressed from the peel to preserve the delicacy of its aroma.

  • One drop in your water for the day gives it a fresh citrus flavour.
  • Its rich citrus aroma, fresh and stimulating, creates a balanced and energising atmosphere.
  • Cleans surfaces and removes sticky residue and grease.

Interesting fact

In the 19th century, English sailors took limes on long voyages and ate one a day. Today the oil is pressed in Brazil alongside the juice, from the peel.
