Lemon Historical Snippets:
Lemon oil may arguably be one of the most versatile essential oils. Having been used in foods, skincare, perfumery, cleaning products and for health. Lemons date as far back as to 90 BC, where they were first mentioned in Jerusalem. In 1747, a study by Scottish physician James Lind showed that the citrus of two oranges and a lemon treated seamen suffering from scurvy. Maude Grieve dubbed lemons as the most valuable fruit for preserving one’s health. Since this, scientific studies have emerged proving that the oil may be even more beneficial than the fruit.

Our freshly decanted Lemon essential oil will last for 1-2 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly:
Primary Storage Considerations:
