Description

Handcraft Blends Organic Lemon Essential Oil is a USDA Organic, cold-pressed Citrus limon oil with a concentrated fresh-peel aroma. Its bright citrus character is suited to diffusers, custom scent blends, soaps, candles, home-fragrance projects and properly diluted topical formulas.

USDA Organic Cold-Pressed Lemon Essential Oil

Cold pressing captures the recognizable scent of lemon peel: fresh, zesty and slightly green. Organic Lemon Essential Oil can be diffused on its own or added gradually to citrus, floral, herbal and woody fragrance compositions.

The oil is 100% pure and undiluted, without added carrier oils, synthetic fragrance or preservatives. Handcraft Blends packages it in amber glass with a dropper for controlled dispensing and reduced exposure to direct light.

Benefits & Features

  • USDA Organic – Certified-organic lemon essential oil for ingredient-conscious scent and cosmetic projects.
  • Botanical identity – Made from Citrus limon.
  • Fresh lemon-peel aroma – Adds a bright, crisp citrus top note to compatible formulas.
  • Cold pressed – Produced by mechanically pressing the aromatic portion of the lemon peel.
  • 100% pure and undiluted – Contains no added carrier oil, synthetic fragrance or extenders.
  • Quality tested – Independently GC/MS tested and bottled in the USA.

How to Use Organic Lemon Essential Oil

Diffuser: Add approximately 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water, or follow the directions supplied with your diffuser. Begin with fewer drops in a small room and increase only if a stronger citrus aroma is preferred.

Aromatic blends: Pair lemon with eucalyptus or peppermint for a crisp profile, lavender or ylang ylang for floral contrast, rosemary or lemongrass for an herbal-citrus blend, or frankincense and cedarwood for added depth.

Soap and candle projects: Confirm compatibility with the selected wax, soap base or fragrance formula. Follow the base supplier's usage-rate and temperature instructions and prepare a small test batch before scaling.

Home-Fragrance and Cleaning Formulas

Organic Lemon Essential Oil can provide fragrance in compatible room sprays and household cleaning formulas, but it does not replace a cleaning agent, solubilizer or preservative. Essential oil does not disperse evenly in plain water, so follow a tested formula and use an appropriate solubilizer for water-based sprays.

Do not make antimicrobial, disinfecting or sanitizing claims for a finished product unless the complete formula has been tested and legally authorized for that purpose.

Topical Dilution and Sunlight Precautions

For adult topical cosmetic use, dilute Organic Lemon Essential Oil in jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut or another compatible carrier oil. The current product directions recommend approximately 6–12 drops per 30 mL of carrier oil, corresponding to a general 1–2% guideline.

Cold-pressed lemon essential oil may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Keep treated skin away from direct sun and UV exposure and follow the applicable supplier or IFRA guidance for the completed formula. Patch test before broader application and never apply undiluted essential oil directly to the skin.

Organic vs. Standard Lemon Essential Oil

Both Handcraft Blends versions are pure, cold-pressed lemon essential oils with the same recognizable citrus scent family. Choose Organic Lemon Essential Oil when USDA Organic certification is important to the purchase. Choose the standard version when organic certification is not a deciding factor.

How to use

Organic Lemon Essential Oil has a clean and crisp scent that feels refreshing and vibrant. Its fresh aroma is great for uplifting aromatherapy routines, and it’s often used in homemade cleaning blends to help create a bright, invigorating environment. When used topically, always dilute it in a carrier oil.

  1. Diffuse lemon essential oil using about 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water to fill your space with a fresh, lively citrus scent. It blends nicely with floral or herbal oils in diffusers, reed diffusers, or DIY room sprays for a clean home atmosphere.

  2. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to DIY household cleaners or spritz blends to enjoy its crisp aroma while cleaning. The refreshing scent works well on surfaces, in spray bottles with water and a mild cleaner, or in cotton sachets placed around the home.

  3. For topical use, always dilute lemon essential oil in a carrier oil. A general guideline is up to 1–2% — about 6–12 drops of lemon oil per ounce (30 mL) of carrier. Apply the diluted blend to clean skin for a light, refreshing touch.

Good to know

Warning: For external use only. Lemon essential oil must be diluted before applying to the skin. Citrus oils may increase sensitivity to sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas. Avoid contact with eyes. Perform a patch test before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Fresh, Strong, NaturalA Great Lemon Essential Oil

This is a high-quality, pure lemon essential oil with a strong, true lemon fragrance. It includes a drip-control insert a nice dropper (that actually works), so you can choose your method of application. It smells wonderfully citrus-sweet doesnt resemble artificial lemon or furniture polish. My daughter says it reminds her of lemon loaf when I put it in the diffuser . It fills the room with a fresh aroma, and I havent had any issues with buildup or clogging in my diffusers. Because its pure lemon oil, it works great as a fragrance additive for soaps, lotions cleaning products. I make my own chemical-free all-purpose cleaner using a white vinegar base, and most oils arent strong enough to mask the vinegar smellbut this one is! I love the lingering lemon scent after Ive cleaned up after dinner. It just smells clean refreshing. Overall, Im very pleased with this essential oil.

Pure Organic Lemon Essential Oil Pure Organic Peppermint EO Spearmint EO Orange EO

LEMON: This is a one ounce bottle of Organic Lemon Essential Oil. It comes in an amber glass bottle with an eyedropper cap. It is a high quality essential oil that diffuses and blends with other essential oils and carrier oils well. Since it is pure essential oil, you do need to dilute it with a carrier oil before applying directly to skin. Lemon Oil is an energizing scent, and also is great for focus and concentration. However, be aware that lemon essential oil can cause photosensitivity, so be careful creating wearable products with this oil and then going out in the sun. The 10 price tag is about average for high quality, pure essential oils sold in smaller bottles. This is an appropriate price for this particular essential oil in a bottle of this size, and a better buy per ounce than 1 ounce bottles of lemon oil of comparable quality from other brands. This is a quality EO, despite the reasonable price, and you won't regret buying this if you are looking to add lemon to your EO collection. PEPPERMINT: I also got some of the Peppermint EO, and it is also great. I use peppermint in my bug repellent and energy blends, so I know what a good Peppermint EO should smell like, and this fits the bill. You can never go wrong with EOs from this company. SPEARMINT: Yet another winner from Handcrafted Blends. This spearmint smells exactly as it should. It diffuses well, blends well, and passes the "white paper test." It is certified organic and ethically sourced. I always recommend oils from this company, as they are all well priced as well as high quality. ORANGE: I use a lot of Orange Essential Oil, as it is a crucial ingredient in my bug repelling blends. This orange oil has the right scent, and it blends well with other essential oils. I use those glass bottles with the wooden tops to hang an orange-heavy repellent blend in the cabinet in which I keep my trash can, and this orange oil works wonderfully in those types of passive diffusers. I also use it in an energy blend that I use in both my ultrasonic and nebulizing diffusers, and this works great in those as well. Handcrafted Blends is one of my favorite essential oil manufacturers, and I recommend you try any and all of their essential oils. They are high quality EOs at a great price point.

Great for elastic hair ties!

I bought this to try for snapping elastic hair ties vs just ripping out hair or having to use scissors - works perfect! 1-2 drops on an elastic immediately snaps the hair tie and makes removal so easy. Then you have an amazing lemon scent in your hair! Very pleasant aroma not aggressively overpowering.

Great quality for low price

I purchased the lemon oil, along with others, to "train my brain" to smell again after having Covid-19. It smells like a freshly squeezed lemon. It's a high-quality oil. I have only been using it for a week but I hope it helps.

Great smell but does not last

The scent is very fresh, does not smell too artificial. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because the scent does not last very long. Ive tried adding 10 drops at a time and I still end up having to add more drops after a few hours because the scent doesnt last. Other oils last the full 10-12 hours my diffuser is on with only 6-8 drops. Other than that, I love the scent.

Bottle was half empty

Bottle came half empty. Lid was loose and A lot was spilled in the packaging. Wheb I went to open it the lid slipped right off without the safety seal breaking. Product smells great and will change my review,if I receive a new bottle. Update. They sent me a new one and the bottle was full.

Smells very nice.

As I have only used this one time, and it's been on for several hours now, and find it doesn't last very long. I love citrus, bought the lemon and love it. I mixed it with Bergamot which smells good.
