Ingredients

100% Essential Oil of Kaffir Lime Leaf

Botanical Origin

Kaffir lime is a tropical citrus plant native to Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Long valued in regional culinary and herbal traditions, the plant is especially recognized for its intensely aromatic leaves and distinctive citrus-green fragrance.

Because of its striking scent profile, kaffir lime is also widely used in soaps, fragrances, shampoos, and cosmetic formulations, where its fresh botanical character adds brightness and clarity.

What It Is Made From

There are two main types of kaffir lime essential oil: one distilled from the fruit peel, and one derived from the leaves. This version is leaf essential oil, which typically presents a greener, fresher, and more botanical aromatic profile than peel-derived citrus oils.

Extraction

Kaffir lime essential oil is commonly produced through steam distillation, though some oils may also be produced by cold pressing depending on the plant part and processing method. Leaf oil is especially valued for its lively, leafy-citrus aroma and clean aromatic lift.

Scent Experience

If you are familiar with Southeast Asian cuisine, you may already recognize the unmistakable aromatic signature of kaffir lime. Tart yet smooth, vivid yet refined, this oil brings a more sophisticated expression of citrus into aromatic use.

In diffusion, its aroma creates an environment that feels:

• fresh and clean
• bright and botanical
• crisp and uplifting
• light, modern, and naturally refreshing

It is especially appealing for those who enjoy citrus oils but prefer less sweetness and more green, structured freshness.
