Lemon essence, in a few words
Like all citrus fruits, the aromatic extract taken from the pericarps (zest) of lemons is called 'essence', because it is obtained by mechanical pressing of the zest, and not by steam distillation. We can also very easily recognize the pockets of essence present in the zest of citrus fruits: these are these small darker dots, from which a liquid gushes out which stings the eyes when you peel lemons or oranges. This liquid is none other than the aromatic essence.

Practical advice

Special precautions for use
Do not massage this essence onto the skin in direct sunlight or just before a tanning session, as lemon essence is photosensitizing. Consider diluting it in a Vegetable Oil ( sweet almond or hazelnut ) to facilitate the massage.
