Phototoxicity: Not flagged in this profile
Oxidation risk: high

A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.

Contraindications & cautions

minorHigh limonene content makes oxidized material more likely to sensitize the skin; use fresh oil and store away from heat and light.
