Organic Lemon essential oil

Benefits of Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil has several traditional uses, most notably its application for refreshing the atmosphere thanks to its citrus aroma, which is also disliked by mosquitoes, as well as for making natural cleaning products.

Here we mention only some of the most notable ones, but there are many more properties of lemon essential oil that make it one of the indispensable elements in any home.

• Refreshing aroma

  Both at work and at home, the feeling of being in a clean and fresh environment already provides us with an extra boost of energy and vitality that helps us face everyday life with greater freshness. Breathing in an environment scented with lemon elevates the breathing experience to a higher level.

• Mosquitoes avoid it

  Traditionally, lemon essential oil is also commonly used to repel mosquitoes, as the citrus aroma is not at all attractive to these insects.

  If you live in an area where mosquitoes are common or the time of year when they proliferate has arrived, you may find it useful to use lemon essential oil in a diffuser.

• Natural cleaning

  The use of lemon essential oil as part of a homemade cleaning product is widespread. Both because of the pleasant aroma it releases and the properties of lemon, its use in household cleaning is as simple as it is practical.

  Once the cleaning product has been prepared, you can use a spray bottle to mist the surfaces you wish to clean with a simple cloth. First ensure that the surface is suitable, or test on a small, inconspicuous area beforehand.

• Digestive purposes

  Hévéa lemon essential oil is authorised for food consumption, so in very small quantities and always following the recommendations for this use, it may be used for digestive purposes mixed with honey, in an infusion, or as a flavouring in sauces or baking.

• Skin blemishes

  Lemon essential oil also has a topical use and may help reduce skin blemishes caused by the passage of time (ageing) or scars due to various issues such as acne. Compounds such as limonene and other antioxidants contribute to this.

  For application on the skin, use with caution and always follow recommendations, making it especially important to use a carrier oil (such as coconut, jojoba or sweet almond) and perform a sensitivity test on a small, inconspicuous area (such as the forearm).

  As this oil is photosensitive, it should preferably be applied at night. If applied during the day, sun exposure must be avoided.

  

Why buy Hévéa Organic Lemon Essential Oil?

When buying lemon essential oil, it is important to pay attention to a number of elements to ensure that you are purchasing a quality oil. These are the main things you should look for:

Add to basket

100% pure and natural oil

First of all, you must ensure that it is a pure essential oil, 100% derived from the peel of Citrus limon like Hévéa's. You should avoid products whose label indicates compounds such as synthetic aromas or artificial fragrances, chemical solvents that dilute the oil, or that the essential oil may be mixed with other lower-cost citrus oils.

Hévéa Lemon Essential Oil is made with natural compounds, without synthetic ingredients or artificial preservatives.

Certified organic

Organic certification is a guarantee that it has been produced using raw materials cultivated without the use of synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilisers, and that it complies with the specific standards of certified organic farming.

By purchasing Hévéa Lemon Essential Oil, you ensure that you are buying a product of the highest quality sourced from organic agriculture.

Stored in a protective container

Anti-ultraviolet

The quality of the oil is just as important as its proper storage, since some compounds in essential oil, such as limonene, can oxidise easily if they come into contact with ultraviolet light, such as sunlight. For this reason, it must be protected with a dark container that prevents this type of radiation from degrading the oil.

Glass bottle

Glass is the safest material for storing an essential oil, since if the oil is truly of good quality and the container is plastic, it could end up dissolving it or extracting toxic chemicals from it.

Hermetically sealed dropper

It is important that the closure is airtight to protect the oil from air and prevent it from oxidising and losing quality upon contact.

Easy administration

The dropper included in the Hévéa bottle makes correct administration of the oil easier. Essential oils are very potent products that should not be used in large quantities. Normally you will only need a few drops for the intended use, and with the dropper you can ensure you do not exceed the amount.
