What Is Lemon Oil?
Lemon Oil is an antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory ingredient. Extracted from the citrus fruit’s peel, it is widely used in treating various common skin care and hair care issues. It works best as an essential oil but is also used in many top-quality anti-dandruff hair conditioners and hair masks. Part of the reason is its easy availability and near-zero cost of extraction. (It is thus also used in aromatherapy).
The household method of making lemon oil is easy but time-consuming. It requires washing the lemons in cold water and peeling their jackets. The peels are mixed in carrier oil and kept in an airtight container in diffused sunlight for two weeks. The resulting mixture is then strained off through a cotton cloth and the oil is ready for use. Please note that homemade lemon oil is good for only a fortnight and should not be used thereafter.
