ℹ️General Overview

For babies 6–12 months old, this citrus peel oil is not among the highest-risk ingredients, but it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight and can sometimes irritate delicate baby skin. Treat it with care.

✅What to Do

If you want to use a product that lists citrus peel oil, choose products made for babies and avoid putting the product on skin that will be in direct sun. Do a small patch test on a tiny area and wait 24 hours before wider use. Prefer fragrance-free or baby-specific products when possible. If the product will be used outdoors, avoid applying it to exposed skin or wait until after sun exposure.

⚠️Warnings

Do not apply citrus peel oils to baby skin if you expect sun exposure within the next 24–48 hours—this oil can cause increased sun sensitivity (information from fragrance industry guidance, IFRA). Watch for redness, increased warmth, swelling, blisters, or any rash after use. If your family has a history of sensitive skin or allergies, avoid using this ingredient on babies. Also be aware that some product safety programs limit or restrict the use of this ingredient in verified baby products.

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Sun Burn: An industry safety group (the International Fragrance Association, IFRA) recommends limiting use of citrus peel oils because they are phototoxic. That means this oil can make skin much more sensitive to sunlight and cause faster burning, redness, or darkening. For babies and children, treated skin could burn more quickly after sun exposure, so products with this oil are recommended to be restricted or used with care.
