Italian lemons produce a preferred aroma, almost like a freshly grated peel. We love this scent; it's fresh, clean, and uplifting! It's especially good for a mental boost when diffused with spearmint or peppermint. Diffusing lemon has the added bonus of cleansing the air. Bad odors are tackled well by most citrus oils and lemon is no exception. Like many of the citrus oils, lemon is known to support the lymphatic system. This is one of the systems that work to remove toxins from the body. Drink plenty of water while diffusing it for the best results.
Its germicidal qualities give the added bonus of purifying the air. It's nice to diffuse when someone else may be carrying germs and you don't want to share them. It's great in household cleaners because of its disinfecting properties you have the added advantage of its immune system support as you are cleaning or diffusing it.
A word to those who have been told to take lemon in water: Don't! It takes over 3,000 lemons to produce 2.2 lbs of expressed oil — that oil is extremely strong. Lemon oil is great for cleaning greasy tools. If it can break down that kind of grime (and it does it well), what are drops of it, floating on top of water in your stomach, doing to your stomach lining?
With our pre-diluted oils . . . if diluted for kids is the highest dilution you see, it’s also the max dilution possible. Pre-diluted oils are in fractionated coconut oil.

Lemon Essential Oil Safety Info
According to Tisserand and Young, there is a low risk of phototoxicity with expressed lemon essential oil. Max dilution: 2%. If it is used above the maximum dermal use guidelines, the area of application should not be exposed to UV rays for at least 12 hours after application. Sensitivity is more likely with old or oxidized lemon essential oil, so it should be stored in a dark, airtight container in your refrigerator. Lemon essential oil should still follow the safety guidelines below. ~ Source: Tisserand, Robert and Young, Rodney. Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals: Churchill Livingstone; 2 edition (2013). Reading the full profile for Lemon essential oil is highly suggested by your DeRu Staff.
While we’ve made this clear that we are selling this essential oil to use in your diffuser, your inhaler, or topically (diluted), it is a pure essential oil and can be used as such. With all essential oils:
Keep away from children.
Oral Safety is only given because many people have been told to take oils internally. Because several people look to us for safety advice, we feel obligated to offer those safety statements, although we do not believe anyone should be ingesting essential oils without being guided by an expert. Experts will take your medical history into account before they suggest oils for you to ingest, diffuse, or use topically.

Such a bright, crisp, lemon scent with just a tad of sweetness. It’s my favorite with rosemary or lavender.
Cathi Young (verified owner) –
This batch is a very lovely lemon! Crisp and vibrant to my nose. Very “fresh” smelling.

I’ve never been a fan of lemon essential oil until this one. I don’t know why but it’s so fresh and sparkly. It’s just lovely

Extremely bright and fresh, it will ruin other lemon essential oils for you, be warned!
Deborah Eisa (verified owner) –
This was my first time buying/trying this oil as well as a few others and I absolutely love it. I’ve tried a few Lemon oils from other companies, but this one is just yummy.
