Smells incredible. The quality is exactly what they say it is.
Lime is the brightest oil in this range — the one that makes a room smell like summer, like a clean start, like the windows are open even when they're not. It's the citrus oil for the mornings when Orange feels too warm and Lemon feels too soft. And it's the one that should be in your washing machine spray, your gym blend, and your summer diffuser simultaneously.
Some essential oil brands charge over $40 for 15ml of Lime. At that price you pick one use. The diffuser or the spray bottle or the body oil. Not all three.
At our price you make all three. The summer diffuser blend and the washing machine spray and the post-shower body oil. You use it for everything it's capable of in every season it's built for.
That's the shift. Not the oil. What the price lets you do with it.
100% pure Lime oil. Nothing added, nothing diluted. We've been selling pure essential oils since 1895. If it's not the best Lime oil you've smelled, we'll refund you in full. No return, no questions, no expiry on that promise.

In a diffuser
Add 4–5 drops to your diffuser with water. Run for 30–60 minutes at a time — intermittent diffusing is more effective than continuous. A well-ventilated room gives you the scent without the saturation.
As a roller blend
Add the recommended drops to a 10ml roller bottle and top with a carrier oil. Apply to wrists, temples, the back of the neck, or the sternum. Never apply undiluted essential oil directly to skin.
In a spray
Add the recommended drops to 250ml of water with 1 teaspoon of methylated spirits as an emulsifier. Shake before each use.
For topical use
Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin. Do a patch test on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dark place — a cupboard or drawer is ideal. Keep the lid sealed between uses. Essential oils degrade with heat, light, and air exposure.
Lime — dilution and caution
Use 4–5 drops in a 100ml diffuser. For skin use, dilute to 2% in carrier oil. Cold-pressed Lime is one of the most phototoxic essential oils available — do not apply to any skin that will be sun-exposed. For daytime skin use, seek steam-distilled Lime.

Blend 1: Lime + Peppermint + Eucalyptus — "The Home Gym"
Lime is the sharpest citrus in this range — brighter than lemon, more lift, less warmth. Peppermint is the cooling edge. Eucalyptus opens the airway during exercise. Run while you're actually working, not while you're stretching and already done. 3 drops Lime, 2 drops Peppermint, 2 drops Eucalyptus. Commercial gyms control the air. You control your home gym completely and haven't started yet. This is where that starts.
Blend 2: Lime + Bergamot + Cedarwood — "The Summer Blend"
The one that works at 7am and 7pm without adjustment. Lime is the brightness. Bergamot is the complexity underneath it. Cedarwood is the shade — the bit that stops it from being relentlessly sharp when it's already hot. 3 drops Lime, 3 drops Bergamot, 2 drops Cedarwood. You update your wardrobe seasonally. Your menu seasonally. The diffuser has been running the same blend since winter. This is the summer version.
Blend 3: Lime + Frankincense + Lavender — "The 3pm Hold"
Lime prevents the afternoon from going flat. Frankincense grounds it so it doesn't tip into stimulation — you're already depleted, you don't need wired. Lavender keeps the cortisol from climbing in the hour before it normally would. Run from 2:45pm. Not 3:15pm when it's already arrived. 3 drops Lime, 2 drops Frankincense, 3 drops Lavender. 3pm is a biology problem, not a willpower problem. You've been addressing the wrong variable.
Blend 4: Lime + Lemongrass + Tea Tree — "The Washing Machine"
The drum smells off and you've noticed. You've been washing the clothes and not the machine. Lime cuts the musty smell that builds inside it. Lemongrass keeps the rubber seal from going. Tea Tree prevents the mould that causes the smell in the first place. Spray the drum, the seal, and the inside of the door monthly. 5 drops each in 250ml water + 1 tsp methylated spirits. You've been buying the specialist washing machine cleaning product. You already have everything in it.
Blend 5: Lime + Ylang Ylang + Rosewood — "The Body Oil"
Lime is the first thing you smell — bright, clean, citrus. Ylang Ylang is the floral warmth that arrives second. Rosewood is the soft, almost-vanilla base you'll still be smelling an hour later. Applied warm, post-shower, to still-damp skin in a carrier oil. 3 drops Lime, 2 drops Ylang Ylang, 3 drops Rosewood in 30ml carrier oil. The $55 body oil is mostly carrier oil with essential oils and excellent branding. This is the same product. You're skipping the branding.

How many drops do I use in a diffuser?
4–5 drops in a 100ml diffuser. Lime is the sharpest, brightest top note in the citrus range — it hits fast and disperses quickly. In a blend it works at equal or slightly lower ratio than heavier middle notes.
Can I use it on my skin in summer?
Cold-pressed Lime is one of the most phototoxic essential oils available — more so than Lemon or Bergamot. Applying it to skin exposed to sunlight can cause severe burns or permanent skin pigmentation. Do not use cold-pressed Lime in any roller or body oil for daytime use on sun-exposed skin. Steam-distilled Lime is not phototoxic.
Is it safe around children?
Lime is generally considered safe for diffusing around children over 2 in a ventilated room. For topical use on children, dilute heavily and keep away from the face. For children under 2, use very low concentrations and excellent ventilation.
Does it go off quickly?
Yes — citrus top notes are the fastest to oxidise in the essential oil range, and Lime is among the quickest. Expect 1–2 years from opening when stored correctly. When the brightness fades and the scent goes flat or slightly off, it's oxidised.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Lime appears on the generally-considered-safe list from major aromatherapy organisations for pregnancy when diffused and used in moderation. The phototoxicity caution for topical use is especially important during pregnancy. Check with your midwife or healthcare provider before use.

Lime oil (Citrus aurantifolia) is cold-pressed from the rind of the Key lime — the small, intensely aromatic variety native to Southeast Asia and now grown across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It is the sharpest and most intensely bright of the citrus oils in this range. Where Orange is warm and Lemon is clean, Lime is electric — a citrus note with more lift and less warmth than any of its relatives.
Its primary compound is limonene, with significant amounts of beta-pinene and gamma-terpinene contributing to its distinctive character — a citrus note with a slightly bitter, green edge that other citrus oils don't have.
Cold-pressed Lime is one of the most phototoxic essential oils available. The furanocoumarins concentrated in the rind sensitise skin to UV radiation significantly. For any topical use on skin that will see sunlight, steam-distilled Lime is the safer choice.
Our Lime oil is 100% pure cold-pressed Citrus aurantifolia rind oil. No carrier, no dilution, no synthetic fragrance.
