WARNING: CITRUS OILS AND PHOTOTOXICITY
Exercise caution when using citrus essential oils (e.g. lemon, lime, bergamot, grapefruit) due to potential phototoxicity. These oils contain chemicals that react to sunlight or UV rays, leading to skin sensitivity and increased risk of sunburn/irritation. To avoid phototoxic reactions, dilute safely and avoid direct sunlight/UV rays on skin for 12-18 hours post-application. Consider using in products not applied to sun-exposed skin. For sensitive skin/prone to sunburn, do a patch test before using. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur.
