Organic lemon essential oil

Organic lemon essential oil, an essential ingredient for color-treated hair

Lemon essential oil is an exceptional active ingredient for hair, especially color-treated hair: thanks to its antioxidant properties, it protects the hair fiber. Rich in vitamins C and E, as well as citric acid, it provides your hair with numerous nutrients.
It may seem obvious, but essential oil extracted from organic lemons is of much higher quality than when pesticides have been used during the production process. René Furterer has chosen the organic route to protect the environment and guarantee the quality of our products.

Where do the lemons used in René Furterer hair care products come from?

The lemons from which our ORGANIC Lemon Essential Oil is extracted are produced in Italy, on family-run Sicilian farms whose organic methods are certified by international bodies such as BioAgriCert and Demeter.
We work exclusively with partners who respect the environment and offer good working conditions to all their employees.

Environmentally-friendly production

Our partners use farming methods that meet organic criteria. This includes :

  • Mechanical weeding without soil treatment
  • Manual harvesting with direct transport to the processing site
  • Waste recycling
  • Soil fertilization with animal manure
  • And much more. 

Our partners are regularly audited to ensure compliance with organic standards.

Our commitment to the well-being of workers

René Furterer is committed not only to Nature, but also to the people who take care of it.
René Furterer ORGANIC Lemon Essential Oil is Fair For Life certified. Here are all the criteria studied to obtain this label.

Production criteria

The growers of the lemons from which our ORGANIC Lemon Essential Oil is extracted must plan their irrigation systems carefully to avoid wastage. Waste management is also examined.
On a social level, the recruitment structure of producers is assessed to determine their impact on local employment. Similarly, employment contracts are examined to ensure that each employee is properly remunerated in line with industry standards and the work performed.

Processing criteria

In order to process these lemons into our ORGANIC Lemon Essential Oil, we chose a partner specialized in citrus extraction. Here too, waste management is a major issue, as is the type of contract and remuneration offered to employees.
Indeed, the transformation process is just as important as agricultural production: this is where the fruit is pressed to extract the famous ORGANIC Essential Oil we use in our skincare products.

Our projects under development

We are constantly looking for new initiatives to improve our ecological and social impact. We are currently considering projects to create hedges in the lemon groves, purchase equipment to facilitate harvesting and provide sports facilities for the families of seasonal workers.
