Extraction from the Lemon
Unlike many other essential oils which are extracted from the flower or the leaves of the plant, lemon essential oil is extracted from the fresh fruit peel by cold expression. This means that the lemon fruit is peeled and the peels are squeezed under high amounts of pressure to force out the essential oil. This is done without heat which can damage some oils.
