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

Complements the restorative action of arnica
