Product Introduction
Lemon leaf oil is derived from the leaves of the lemon tree, an evergreen native to East Asia but now cultivated in many parts of the world. Its refreshing and tangy scent is often associated with cleanliness and vitality. This essential oil is not only popular for its fragrance but also for its potential benefits in various applications.
Production Process
The production of lemon leaf oil typically involves steam distillation. Fresh leaves are harvested and subjected to steam, which helps release the essential oil. The steam carries the oil droplets into a condenser, where they are cooled and separated from the water, yielding pure lemon leaf oil.
