Description

Oils, Lemon, Psoralen-Free is a premium-grade essential oil derived from Citrus limon, specifically processed to remove psoralens, a class of naturally occurring phototoxic compounds. This specialized refinement makes it a critical ingredient for applications where skin safety under light exposure is paramount, eliminating the risk of photoirritation. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, flavor, and fragrance industries who require the authentic, fresh aroma of lemon oil without the associated safety concerns of standard cold-pressed variants.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A key top note in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and air fresheners, providing a bright, fresh, and clean citrus character.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: Safely incorporated into lotions, creams, and sun care products for its aromatic properties, free from phototoxicity risks.
• Flavoring & Food Industry: Used as a natural flavoring agent in beverages, confectionery, baked goods, and dairy products, where a pure lemon flavor is desired.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Ideal for diffuser blends, massage oils, and inhalants where the uplifting scent of lemon is used without contraindications for light exposure.
• Household & Industrial Products: Adds a fresh scent to eco-friendly cleaning products, polishes, and disinfectants.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a flavor masking agent in syrups and lozenges, with the added benefit of a consistent, safe profile.
