Sweet Lemon Oil (Pharma, Food, and Cosmetic Grade)

A native of India, the sweet lemon tree is an evergreen that grows up to about 6 meters (20 feet) and features dark green, serrated oval leaves with highly perfumed pink or white flowers. The tree bears thorns, and its fruits transition from green to yellow when ripe. The name “lemon” is derived from the Arabic ‘Laimun’ or Persian ‘Llimun.’ Introduced to Europe during the Middle Ages by the Crusaders, sweet lemon fruit is rich in vitamins A, B, and C—an ounce a day was once given to sailors in the Royal Navy to prevent scurvy and related deficiencies. In modern times, especially in Japan, pure sweet lemon oil is used in bank diffusers to help reduce worker error. It’s also a favourite in the flavouring and fragrance industries.
