Lime
Bright, citrusy, and full of natural energy — lime essential oil is a fresh burst of clarity for both skin and spirit. Known for its crisp, clean aroma and naturally purifying properties, it adds a refreshing twist to body care blends designed to revive tired muscles, support active recovery, and keep skin feeling clean and revitalised.
At Made in Hemp, we include lime essential oil in two of our most invigorating formulas: the Gym Junkie Hemp Body Butter with Arnica and our ultra-protective Hemp Hand Protection Cream.
What Is Lime Essential Oil?
Lime essential oil is cold-pressed or steam-distilled from the peel of the Citrus aurantifolia fruit. It’s packed with beneficial compounds including:
Limonene – cleansing, clarifying, and antioxidant-rich
Beta-pinene & gamma-terpinene – support circulation and skin renewal
Citral – known for its antimicrobial and uplifting qualities
Its scent is crisp and tart — less sweet than orange, more vibrant than lemon — and works beautifully in blends that need a wake-up call or a refreshing lift.
Skin & Aromatherapy Benefits of Lime Oil
For the skin:
Naturally astringent and clarifying – great for post-workout or hardworking hands
Cleansing and purifying – helps reduce buildup without drying skin
Mildly energising to tired or dull skin
For the mind & body:
Uplifting and revitalising – perfect for that “pep in your step” after a workout
Supports focus and clarity
Pairs beautifully with muscle-soothing botanicals like arnica, eucalyptus, and peppermint

Adds a bright, clean scent to functional, high-performance skincare
Balances richer ingredients like cocoa butter and hemp seed oil with a citrusy lightness
Contributes to a revived, refreshed skin feel in both body and hand care
