Lemon essential oil is derived from the rind of the lemon fruit and has a fresh, citrus scent that makes it a popular choice for use in a variety of applications, including household cleaning, aromatherapy, and personal care products. The oil is extracted through a process of cold-pressing the lemon rind, which yields a concentrated oil that is high in natural compounds like limonene and citral.
