I love essential oils
I love essential oils. I use them a lot, but often, especially buying them online, I am not sure of what I am buying. The only thing I can do to know if an essential oil is good is doing the paper test, and of course I did this test on Radha Lemon Essential Oil 100% pure and natural, and it passed the test greatly (I posted the photos of the test).  If an oil is synthetic or it is cut with other vegetables carrier oils the stain on the paper stays there long and it leaves an oily stain for more than a day. The pure essential oil instead evaporates after a while leaving the paper almost totally clean (but the odor lasts). This test, however, does not tell us all we need to know, and we need also other information that are usually reported on the bottle like how the oil is being extracted for example.<br />As known, citrus oils extraction is cold pressed, and it is not steam distilled: indeed, the oil is extracted from the vesicles peel. Radha lemon oil is cold pressed.<br />Also, a pure essential oil is really strong, and it must be used diluted in a carrier oil.  If on the bottle you find this indication, you are pretty sure you are using a good essential oil. This oil is only for external use.<br /><br />I would like to add that citrus oils are phototoxic, so do not take sun for 12 hours after using this oil on your skin, and better using a sun protection when you are in the sun.<br /><br />I used this oil for aromatherapy and to make a perfume: in both cases I was satisfied.<br />Even if this oil is bottled in US, the country of origin is Italy. As known, citrus from Italy are very high quality.<br />I received this product for free in exchange of a honest and unbiased review.
