Lime
I love Lime. I use Lime more than Lemon except on fish. I add it to my tartar tho. A couple of drops goes great in a beer or mixed drink to give it that nice tart zip. Lime is also great for to uplift your mood. Mixed with Cranberry it is great for some digestive and urinary issues. I am NOT allergic to this oil.

Put some Lime on a cotton pad and use to help remove grease spots and sticker residue.

Lemon
Lemon oil is used all the time here. I use it in furniture polish, to take labels and glue off things, and to help remove stains from oily things like salad dressing or pizza sauce. A drop of Lemon oil on a fresh oil stain breaks up the fat in the spot to release the oil out of it leaving little or no mark behind. Better than a tide spot treater while I'm out or home. It has many other uses in our home and I'm sure your list is long too. I am NOT allergic to this oil.

Uses
Take internally to assist with seasonal respiratory discomfort.*
Add Lemon oil to a spray bottle of water to clean tables, countertops, and other surfaces. Lemon oil also makes a great furniture polish; simply add a few drops to olive oil to clean, protect, and shine wood finishes.
Use a cloth soaked in Lemon oil to preserve and protect your leather furniture and other leather surfaces or garments.
Lemon oil is a great remedy for the early stages of tarnish on silver and other metals.
Diffuse to create an uplifting environment.

Anyways I posted earlier about using Lavender on a fresh burn(If I knew tonight's oil was this I would have waited) and how it too out the sting instantly and it never blistered. Well not a bubble blister but the top layer was shot. I also use it for itching but I don't need help sleeping normally. It is in Correct X which I use for every little nick and cut. And now this burn. I put it on a paper towel in the cage with a very nervous dog and it helps them also. I am NOT allergic to this oil.

Helichrysum
OK so do to the higher cost of this oil it is used by me as a first aid oil only. To give you an example: I had an elderly gentleman customer with very thin skin get a nasty v shaped cut on his arm from his dog jumping on him. The cut was a least 1 inch on both sides but not very deep, more like just the top layers but it bled bad. I right away grabbed my Helichrysum put 3 drops on a paper towel and folded the skin back to where it belonged and held it there. Did not apply pressure because I didn't want it to bruise by blocking the blood under the skin. I dabbed it a little more and told him hold it on the cut. After about 2 minutes the bleeding had stopped and I sent him home with the towel with the oil. He stated that the doctor had no idea why he was prone to bleed so bad. I was just glad that I could help control it immediately. I am NOT allergic to this oil.

Uses
Apply topically to reduce the appearance of blemishes.
Apply to the face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and to promote a glowing, youthful complexion.
Massage into the temples and the back of the neck for a soothing sensation.

Cautions

Helichrysum oil is often used to prevent signs of aging and referred to as “The Everlasting Flower” because of its rejuvenating benefits for the skin and ability to improve the complexion.

Green Mandarin
A oil I do not use very often and I will tell you why.. because I treasure every drop! It is the ultimate uplifting oil, It helps anxiety for me before it becomes a thing. I was at the convention the year this was released and I remember a large area of the floor having this aroma. You could smell it every time you walked anywhere near the arch.
