Prima Fleur Essential Oil: LEMON PEEL

There are various benefits of lemon peel essential oil as it is an excellent natural astringent, antiseptic, and bactericide which is of particular benefit to people with problem skin and to remove cellulite. The rubefacient and diuretic properties are of great value, as they balance the fluids in the cells and ensure optimum circulation.


Lemon peel further has the ability to stimulate the white corpuscles in the blood that defend the body and fight infection. It is also used to balance the pH of the skin by counteracting acidity on its surface, and acts as a very mild natural bleach or lightener on the skin, which enables it to brighten dull skin color and calm redness, as well as the irritation of an inflamed skin.

Prima Fleur Lemon Peel Essential Oil [No. 144], Citrus limon, is organic and cold-pressed in France. Prima Fleur Lemon Peel [No. 195] is cultivated and cold pressed in the United States.

Prima Fleur CO2 Extract: USNEA BARBATA LICHEN

Usnea [Prima Fleur No. 516] is a CO2 from Germany with a very interesting wood and veggie odor that is used in blending and products. It has been used medicinally for at least 1000 years. Usnic acid (C18H16O7), a potent antibiotic and antifungal agent, is found in most species. This, combined with the hairlike structure of the lichen, is why Usnea was historically used to treat surface wounds when sterile gauze and modern antibiotics were unavailable.

High in vitamin C, Usnea is edible. In modern American herbal medicine, it is primarily used for lung and upper respiratory tract infections, and urinary tract infections.

CO2 is a Carbon Dioxide extraction, either "select" or "total." It is a natural, environmentally sound form of extraction that yields the highest therapeutic quality. Click here for more information on this extraction process.
