How to Store Lemon Essential Oil

Make sure to keep your lemon essential oil in a cool, dry place and out of sunlight. This is to stop essential oil from degrading over time and to help prolong the quality. Make sure you keep the lemon oil out of the reach of children.

Safety Precautions

Avoid contact with the skin directly as this essential oil is 100% pure and very concentrated. If you want the essential oil to be applied topically, make sure to add a few drops to a carrier oil.

Like all essential oils, we suggest doing a small patch test with the diluted oil. This is to check for skin irritation, skin sensitivity and for any allergic reactions to the oil. 

Lemon essential oil is for external use only and must not be used internally. Make sure to keep out of reach of children as this is not a food grade product. 

Lemon essential oil is phototoxic so avoid direct sunlight exposure. For pregnant women, please consult a doctor before use.
