Lime Seed - Carrier Oil
Citrus aurantifolia
Lime Seed Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the fresh, green Citrus aurantifolia fruits handpicked from sun-kissed orchards in the Indian countryside. Lime Seed Oil is often known as the superhero ingredient in skincare products due to its richness in zinc, vitamin E, vitamin C, antioxidants, and omega 6- and 9- fatty acids.
Not to be confused with its essential oil counterpart, Lime Seed Oil is a cold-pressed carrier seed oil. Despite it being extracted from the seeds, it still carry a slight citrus aroma, just not as powerful as the essential oil version.
