Citrus Aurantifolia Oil (Lime Peel Oil)

Citrus Aurantifolia Oil is an aromatic essential oil expressed or distilled from the peel of Citrus aurantifolia (lime), valued in cosmetic formulations for its bright, energizing citrus aroma and refreshing sensorial effect. Rich in naturally occurring volatile components typical of citrus oils, it is commonly used to enhance fragrance profiles with a crisp, zesty character while supporting cleansing and deodorizing concepts through a clean, fresh finish. In addition to olfactive impact, it can contribute to a lighter, more uplifting sensory experience in gels, emulsions, and anhydrous blends, particularly in shower and body-care formats. Typically incorporated at low use levels and formulated with attention to tolerance—especially in leave-on products, where photoreactivity considerations may apply depending on composition and processing—Citrus Aurantifolia Oil is found in body washes, shampoos, hand and body lotions, scrubs, deodorant-style products, aftershaves, and aromatherapy-inspired oils and balms.
