Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) Organic Essential Oil

By Ann C Wooledge
on July 05, 2013

Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) Organic Essential Oil 

A bright, clean, refreshing essence from the fresh organic rind of lime. We use only organic citrus oils because pesticides and herbicides are concentrated in the rind. Almost all cold-pressed citrus oils (with the exception of Sweet Orange) carry phototoxic concerns. This means that these oils should not be used topically, first of all undiluted, and secondly not immediately prior to going out into the sunlight or any ultra violet rays - including sunbeds. 

We love to use it in a citrus blend and add it to any of our household cleansers. I make a nice all purpose degreaser using an equal blend of lime, pink grapefruit, lemon and orange (you can also purchase our already blended Citrus Fresh oil). My recipe uses regular liquid glycerin soap (about 1 Tbsp), 2 cups of water, and really as much of the essential oil blend you want to add since this is for cleaning. Citrus oils cut grease and gummy stuff better than anything else and you are at the same time breathing in these wonderful health-giving scents and your house will smell amazing - clean and fresh. We usually add about 20 drops depending on the type of cleaning project.

Another thing to consider with citrus oils - they oxidize and this can alter fairly quickly the important chemistry of the particular essential oil. Which is why we buy only fresh citrus oils from our supplier. We keep all of our citrus oils refrigerated and suggest you do the same. All essential oils should be stored tightly closed, leave the top off only long enough to drop the oils into whatever you are diluting it with, and keep in dark glass containers. We ask that you not remove the safety dropper cap supplied and keep them out of reach of children. It's alway a good idea to write the date on the bottle that you have received and opened the essential oil in order to keep track of the age of the oil.

This is the PERFECT soap to have in the kitchen by your sink. The coffee grounds are well-known for reducing odor from kitchen chores such as mincing garlic or onions. It will also add extra grease-cutting capability for those grease monkeys in your house or other activities that require extra cleaning - and great for gardeners! Keep it on a soap dish that allows for drainage and it will last a long time.

Organic Balsam Fir Soap

Real balsam fir essential oil in an organic soap

This is such a nice blend of essential oils, but everyone is different and we know that there are those of us with tender, delicate and sensitive skin and there are those who could use pine tar without problems (well, maybe not). I love this soap and use it liberally. With the high percentage of certified organic oils and shea butter, this soap will have a greater degree of moisturizing, protecting and hydrating properties. But please use a soap dish container that has drainage holes - this will assure that this already very hard, long-lasting bar of soap will last much longer.

Certified organic Arnica montana flowers infused in certified organic hi-oleic sunflower oil

Take a moment to read our article here on the benefits and properties of this very useful and effective oil - and the safety and cautions that apply. Below you will find more information.

SAFETY CAUTION INFORMATION: Using topical arnica for a long time frame may lead to skin irritation, including eczema, peeling, blisters and burning sensations, according to the UMMC and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). These effects are uncommon. Although arnica is a common topical herbal treatment, people should not apply this herb to open wounds because absorption into the bloodstream can be toxic.

 Anticoagulant Effects

Arnica montana contains coumarin chemicals that have blood-thinning properties, as explained by the MSKCC. Although anticoagulant effects have not been reported in people using this herb, anyone taking medications or herbs with blood-thinning effects should be cautious about using arnica. These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen, anticoagulants such as warfarin and heparin, and anti-platelet medications such as clopidogrel. The herb ginkgo biloba also has blood-thinning properties.
