*See below for an explanation of Cost Per Treatment.

*Cost per treatment is based on 5 drops per ounce of massage cream or lotion. If blended with massage or carrier oils, use 10 drops per ounce. The number of drops should be adjusted based on the actual essential oil being used in the treatment. A full-body massage will require approximately 2 ounces of massage product. This actual amount used will vary based on therapist experience, size of the client, how dry the client's skin is and the type of massage product being used.

Did you know?

Ships carrying lime in the 16th century were often called "lime juicers".

Expressed Lime oil is produced in the same way as other citrus fruits, by pressing the peel of the fruit to extract the oil. However, Expressed Lime Oil is extremely photo-toxic, and so should be avoided. Lotus Touch does not sell this product.

The alternative is Distilled Lime Oil, which is by far the most prominent type. Most people prefer the distilled oil's aroma, as it more closely resembles the fruit itself. Distilled Lime oil is widely used for flavoring whereas the expressed oil tends to be preferred by the perfume industry. The two main sources of Lime oil are Mexico and Peru. This oil is from Mexico, and is a delightful oil, very reminiscent of fresh limes - a wonderful revitalizing oil.

Specific Safety Advice

Lime should be used in moderation by those with sensitive skin.
