Description

Lemon oil (CAS 8008-56-8 ), cold-pressed from citrus peel, is a natural essential oil used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient across food, personal care, and cleaning product manufacturing. FEMA 2625 designation confirms its recognized status in flavor applications. Its bright citrus profile and solvent characteristics make it a primary raw material for formulators sourcing natural actives. In food and beverage production, it delivers authentic lemon flavor to confectionery, baked goods, soft drinks, and dairy products where synthetic alternatives fall short of clean-label requirements. Fragrance and personal care formulators incorporate it into perfumes, shampoos, body washes, and skin care products to achieve fresh citrus top notes for various consumer goods. In household and industrial cleaning products, it functions both as a fragrance component and a natural solvent aid in surface cleaners, degreasers, and dishwashing formulations. Beverage manufacturers also use it to standardize flavor profiles in lemonades and flavored waters at controlled usage levels to ensure consistency across different production batches. Lemon oil is supplied as a pale yellow to yellow mobile liquid, available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications. Common supply formats include drums and IBCs for bulk buyers. FCC -grade material is standard for food applications, while cosmetic grades are evaluated against IFRA and relevant regional compliance frameworks for safety and quality assurance.
