Cautions and comments
Beware of synthetics and copies.  True Linden is hard to get and even then is usually thinned to make it useable.  If natural alcohol is used this does not cause too much detriment to the therapeutic qualities.  Not to be confused with Citrus aurantifolia (lime fruit). 
Main chemical constituents
Esters (30%), Farnesol (35%), Terpenes (mainly undetermined).

Suitable for : All skin
