I use this essential oil to make anti-aging night cream for my mother. It make skin soft and firm. Since it is photosensitive, so use it only during the night.

While we have been pleased with the quality of other citrus oils from New Directions we were "tickled pink" with the stunning aroma of Key Lime. It is simply "yummy" and we can't wait to create a new blend with this as our inspiration. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Very sharp smelling, just like the fruit! This is a great scent for uplifting blends and is a little less heavy than traditional lime. The slight difference is worth having both.
