Safety Issues

May cause skin irritation. Use in low dilution (1%, 5-6 drops per ounce of carrier) when applying to the skin, such as in bath or massage oils. Older, oxidized oils increase potential for skin irritation. Best to buy citrus oils that are from organically grown fruit as citrus trees can be heavily sprayed.
