Distilled Lime Oil Recommendations

[benefieldclaus]

I've hard a hard time finding a US seller of distilled lime oil at a fair price recently. I had been buying from Brambleberry the past year, but they are no longer carrying lime oil or grapefruit oil. They used to sell it at $30 per 15oz which seemed like a good deal to me. Any recommendations is much appreciated. Thanks!

You don't mean essential oils or hydrosols? If not what's a distisled lime do?

Try New Directions Aromatics, WSP (may be expensive). Bulk Apothecary is another option to check out.

I love lime EO - Here is some quick pricing from my spreadsheet: 4oz ED $18.02; 16oz BA (cold pressed) $44.90; Lebermuth Distilled 16oz $37.75 - (with Lebermuth they have a healthy minimum $250-300 unless you are a Guild member. Excellent quality though)

I think it means essential oil that is steam distilled and not cold pressed.

There was some sort of shortage of limes not too long ago...

So, lime EO may be really expensive or hard to find for a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. I'll try those online sellers. Thanks Susie, I figured there must have been some supply problem.
