Lemon Vitality is, however, labeled for dietary use and the regular Lemon is labeled for topical and aromatic use.

That being said, if you are not allergic to Lemon, you will be fine if you drank some in your water. Hope that helps and thanks for stopping by with your concern.

  • What is in the citrus oils that cause them to be detrimental to plastic containers? How does YL's plastics (i.e. the bottle caps) differ from conventional plastics elsewhere?

    • Hi Sam, Essential oils are very concentrated. Because of this, many essential oils are incompatible with plastic material. You may want to drink the water immediately as the oils will cause the plastic to breakdown. We feel that it is better to avoid adding essential oils to plastic contains whenever possible. Using a PETE or PP plastic bottle can help, but we recommend switching to glass or stainless steel if you would like to use the same bottle for extended periods of time. The LDPE material we use for the drop reducers is high quality and has been used in the essential oil industry for years. We rarely see any visible plastic breakdown. We recommend always storing the oils upright to ensure that the plastic orifice is not in constant contact with the oils. Thanks for stopping by!

    • Hello Marijo, We recommend following the label directions found on your bottle. 1-2 drops of Lemon Vitality added to your water is great for a fresh drink to start your day.

    • Hey Cristi! You can add Lemon Vitality (or any Vitality oil) to your water to flavor it. Lemon Vitality, Peppermint Vitality, or Grapefruit Vitality are some of my favorites. Just be sure to always read the usages on the bottles. Thanks for stopping by!
