adults • Skin contact product
For adults this orange peel oil is usually safe when used in skin products. It’s mainly a fragrance and skin conditioner. Most health concerns are low, but there are rules limiting how it’s used because it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
If you’re an adult using a product with this oil: do a small patch test first (put a little on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours). Follow the product instructions and don’t put it on broken skin. If the product is a leave-on (like lotion or oil), prefer brands that list safe concentrations or that state they follow fragrance safety guidance. If you plan to be in the sun, avoid applying products with this expressed citrus peel oil right before sun exposure.
Watch for redness, burning, or a rash after use — stop use if that happens. The main warning comes from fragrance industry safety guidance (International Fragrance Association, IFRA) which recommends limits because expressed citrus peel oils can increase sensitivity to sunlight (phototoxicity). Some certification or verification programs also restrict its use unless makers provide safety testing. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have very sensitive skin, talk to your healthcare provider before using products that list this oil.
