LORE®
Not All Lemon Oils Are Created Equal Most guitar "lemon oils" on the market — including well-known brands — are simply white mineral oil (petroleum-derived) with lemon fragrance added. They seal wood, but offer no real nourishment. LORE® is genuinely different. Every product in this range is formulated from cold-pressed, organic raw materials — zero petroleum, zero solvents, completely biodegradable.

Our Story
LORE® was created by Ryan Havinga, luthier and founder of the multi-award-winning WM Guitars workshop on Dartmoor, Devon. After 8 years of development and testing on thousands of guitars in a professional workshop environment, Ryan formulated a range of instrument care products that he was genuinely proud to use — and sell. Every bottle is handmade in small batches on Dartmoor, using responsibly sourced organic materials.
