Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Any thoughts as to why lime is the only readily available steam distilled citrus essential oil? Or better yet, anyone have a source for steam distilled citrus oils? Thanks, -- Debbie deb www.debrasrhapsody.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want distilled citrus, Christopher at White Lotus carries lemon and orange " essence " which is distileld from teh juice as I understand it. They don't have the pungency of the expressed oils, but they are light and lovely. His website is: http://www.whitelotusaromatics.com/index.html Patty ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Distilled lime oil is far less of a photo sensitiser than expressed. Oils are produced to meet the needs of the big commercial users (not aromatherapy, big users will not use the expressed oil to meet safety requirements. The only safe use of expressed lime oil is in non contact fragrances.
