Profile
Citrus aurantifolia is a small, spreading evergreen tree usually of about 15 ft in height. It displays stiff spined, smooth oval leaves, ranging in shades of green. Small white flowers produce the dark green fruits. Dark green is the desired color for harvesting. The essential oil is cold expressed from the peel of the fruit. The color of the oil is yellow to light green. Lime Cold Pressed Essential Oil has an intensely fresh, sweet, citrus peel aroma. You will find that Auroma Lime Oil smells like the freshly scraped lime peel, sharp and green, not powdery, and candy-like.
NOTE: Citrus Oils in their pure state, may appear cloudy or contain small particles of wax. This occurs naturally in the oil and becomes most apparent when stored in cold areas. It is recommended, however, that these oils be stored in a cool place to ensure longevity and quality. If the clarity is a concern, you may wish to filter until clear, however once cooled again the cloudy appearance may return. The clarity may improve through storing the oil at room temperature, but this will reduce the shelf life and is not recommended.

- COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
- WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.

- ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.

This means that skin can discolor when exposed to direct sunlight, and in some cases cause burning. It has not been tested for toxicity, skin irritation or skin sensitivity. (Tisserand R, Bolacs T, Essential oil safety. Churchill Livingston, UK)
- Avoid direct exposure to the sun, tanning beds, or other UV rays after application to the skin.
The Aromatherapy Place does not recommend ingesting essential oils unless a specific dosage instruction is given to a consumer by a qualified medical practitioner.
