A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

Using it thoughtfully

Read the full safety context before bringing this oil into your routine.

Cited dermal maximum · leave-on: 30%
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.

The reviewed IFRA 51 sweet orange certificate allows high leave-on use and does not impose a phototoxic ceiling, consistent with sweet orange peel oil's non-phototoxic safety profile.

Contraindications & cautions

minorHigh limonene content means oxidation is the main practical skin-sensitization concern; store cool and protected from air and light.

About this composition

This profile is anchored to directly readable Brazilian sweet orange material: a Brazil-specific specification sheet confirms the FCC identity and limonene specification, while a Brazilian Citrus sinensis GC-FID/GC-MS report supplies the constituent breakdown used here. Together they support a classic Brazilian sweet orange profile dominated by limonene with smaller myrcene, alpha-pinene, linalool, and decanal support.
