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
- No restriction cited
- 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 Seikodo Ishida distilled yuzu sheet states that the product contains no furocoumarins and lists no IFRA restriction for category 5A, which is consistent with distilled citrus peel oil having materially lower phototoxic risk than expressed peel oil.
Contraindications & cautions
- minorAvoid oxidized oil because the public allergen profile is still dominated by limonene with some linalool content.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
This record is anchored to Seikodo Ishida's directly readable yuzu distilled product-information sheet and IFRA data, with Hermitage Oils used only to match the named retail variant's distilled aromatic profile. The public technical sheet shows a limonene-dominant, non-phototoxic distilled peel oil with meaningful gamma-terpinene and smaller alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, beta-myrcene, linalool, terpinolene, alpha-terpineol, and beta-caryophyllene support.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- The numeric max_dermal_pct of 100 is an archive normalization of Seikodo Ishida's category-5A 'No restriction' IFRA statement rather than a source-published aromatherapy leave-on percentage.
- No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour values were verified in this pass.
