Citrus aurantifolia oil is an essential oil extracted from the rind or peel of limes (Citrus aurantifolia). The essential oil is often produced from the rinds leftover after juicing.
The lime essential oil is mostly comprised of limonene (up to 50%), similar to other citrus essential oils. Other components of the essential oil are pinene, terpinene, and terpineol.
It has a sweet, citrusy scent and is used in skincare products as a fragrance. People sensitive to citrus fruits should be careful with this ingredient, as it may cause a sun-induced skin rash.
