          Kaffir Lime Peel essential oil has a low limonene content compared to other citrus oils but maintains its citrus scent with hints of other scents such as pine, wood, spice and citronella. Kaffir Peel has one of the most complex scents of all the citrus oils.
          The fruit is a bumpy green thick skinned citrus fruit called Kaffir Lime in Thailand or Ma-Kruat in Thai language but has many names such as Combava, Swangi, Leech Lime, Colobot or Mauritius papeda. It grows on a thorny bush native to Indonesia and SE Asia.
          Kaffir Lime Peel is often used hair tonics to revitalize and strengthen hair. It has strong anti-infective, antifungal and insect repellent properties to protect the hair and scalp while restoring the hairs' shine.
          It is detoxifying and assists in breaking down fatty deposits. It is mildly sedative yet uplifting and contributes a feeling of well-being so it is a valuable ingredient in stress formula essential oil blends.
          Little study of this essential oil can be found however a breakdown of its main components beta-pinene, sabinene, citronellal and limonene suggest good antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, insecticidal, mosquito repellent, antimicrobial and antioxidant qualities.
