Our organic lemons are grown and harvested in the Tucuman Provence in Argentina. Argentina Lemons are known for their high quality and great scent due to the unique soil and prime climate to create exactly the right conditions for growing lemons. They are hand-picked while they are still green and unripe, as they ripen and turn yellow while they are being transported to the essential oil production facility. Lemon Essential Oil is obtained by the cold expression of fresh lemon fruit peels – also called skins or rinds. Our Lemon Essential Oil is rectified which removes most of the furo-coumarins (which are potential photosensitizers that can cause skin damage when exposed to the sun). Sustainably grown and processed.
