Citrus aurantiifolia (distillee)
6-14€ / 10ml
Distilled lime (Citrus aurantifolia) differs from expressed lime in its production method. Steam distillation removes the photosensitizing furocoumarins present in cold-pressed lime. This makes distilled lime safer for skin application while retaining the fresh, zesty scent.
The major advantage over expressed lime: NO photosensitization. The distillation process removes bergaptene and other furocoumarins. This makes it the safer choice for any skin application. The scent is slightly less complex than expressed lime but still fresh and vibrant.
