Lemon Oil for Skin

Rated 4.8 out of 5
Based on 12 reviews

Lemon oil for skin delivers a bright, zesty scent that uplifts the senses while refreshing your routine. It's often added to toners, facial mists, and body lotions for a citrusy burst of aromatherapy. Because it’s a phototoxic oil, lemon oil is best used in the evening or in rinse-off products like cleansers and scrubs. 

Mix it with a carrier oil like grapeseed or sunflower and enjoy a sun-kissed glow—just remember to keep it out of direct sunlight exposure post-use.

Ready to Use Blend 

Our lemon oil for skin comes in a pre-diluted version that’s easy to apply to targeted areas like hands or shoulders. It offers a crisp, uplifting feel—ideal for morning routines or layered under lotion. 

Undiluted - Mix with Carrier Oil

Undiluted lemon oil should always be used with caution due to potential photosensitivity. It’s great for brightening DIY formulas but must be diluted well. 

How to Mix Lemon Oil for Skin

Add 1 drop of lemon oil to a teaspoon of carrier oil for spot application or 2–3 drops in a body blend. Avoid applying before sun exposure. For freshening skincare, mix it with aloe vera gel or a water-based mist.

Highlights
Certified 100% Pure Essential Oil
Why Purity MattersEssential Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Essential Oil possible, free of any additional substances. Scroll down to see its unique downloadable third-party lab test to verify its purity.

We want our essential oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.
Wholesale Botanics essential oils are carefully distilled and evaluated to ensure aromatic and therapeutic potency.
