“Lemon oil is antibacterial and antiseptic and has the ability to dissolve gallstones. The EO has some value in reducing the onset of nightmares. This EO is indicated for digestive and liver problems and to disinfect the air. Lemon juice is a great addition to hot drinks for insomnia, colds, flu and viral infections.”

Love the smell of this essential oil! It is so sensational!! It has the scent of something clean and I love using this when I make my natural deodorant. It helps with the odor.

Great for oily skin. I love it mixed with jojoba oil, and applied before bedtime.

The scent is definitely not the strongest. But other than that I love the type of lemon smell it has.

Great for soaping but really I buy it to put in my homemade cleaning products. With 3 kids it works wonders.

I've just bought this EO for the third time. Aside from Lavender 40/42, this is the oil I use the most quickly. When I got it, I still had some from my last purchase left, and I was able to compare them side-by-side. The one I just bought was slightly sweeter than the last (which was by no means bitter or tart). It was interesting to actually be able to expeience what I've read - that EO's differ from year to year and crop to crop. Anyways, definitely a wonderful oil that I plan on repurchasing again and again.

I absolutely love this EO. The I love Lemon and this is the perfectly "sweet" smelling lemon scent. I have also enjoyed the beneficial properties of the oil. I've used it in my bath salts and I've also used it in a blend with Camden Grey's Lavender 40/42 and Tea Tree EO, in Witch Hazel for acne all over my body! Works wonderfully! I will definitely be purchasing more, although a little goes a long way, as they say.

This one is far stronger than the others I've tried which include sweet orange, tangerine, pink grapefruit and maybe others. A little goes a long way. Smells very strong and citrus-sour, like a lemon! Mix with other strong scents or use a few drops to lend a lemon scent. Great for the liquid dish soap I make from scratch.

This is a good-for-every-situation type oil. It makes great products for the kitchen and bath. A few drops mixed with warm water makes a great hair rinse. The whole bathroom will smell lemon fresh.. with just a few drops!

This is the purest scent of Lemon EO. Very strong, and very clean. It's great for combo's in CP soaping. I plan on adding it to my home made cleaners also.
