Citrus Limon Peel Oil (Lemon Peel Oil)

Citrus Limon Peel Oil is an aromatic essential oil expressed or distilled from the peel of Citrus limon (lemon), valued for its bright, zesty scent and its ability to enhance the freshness and sensorial character of formulations. In cosmetics, it is used primarily as a perfuming ingredient, while also contributing mild astringent and antioxidant support within botanical complexes, helping promote a cleaner, more energized skin feel. It is commonly incorporated at low levels in cleansers, body washes, exfoliating products, deodorants, and hair care, as well as fragrance-forward skincare. Because citrus peel oils can contain naturally occurring fragrance allergens and, depending on composition, potentially photoreactive components (notably furocoumarins in some citrus oils), it is typically used with care in leave-on products and formulated in accordance with applicable IFRA guidance.
