Sweet Orange peel oil

⚠️4/10

For children 5 years and older, orange peel (sweet orange) peel oil can be okay in small amounts in children’s products but may cause skin sensitivity, allergic reactions, or make skin more likely to burn in the sun. It’s usually safer in products that are rinsed off.

Immune system - This oil is linked to allergic reactions and immune problems in people. Regulators and health agencies list it as a known or possible allergen and note cases of immune-system reactions (examples named include the EU Cosmetics Directive, the European Chemicals Agency, and the U.S. EPA). That means a child could have an allergic response if exposed.

Irritant - There is strong evidence the oil can irritate skin, eyes, and lungs. Safety reviews and peer-reviewed studies call out skin/eye/lung irritation and list it as a human irritant (sources include ECHA and industry safety reviews). On baby skin this can cause redness, stinging, or cough if inhaled.

Eczema - Because it is a known allergen and a skin irritant, it can trigger or make eczema worse. The EU cosmetics rules and other health reviews require allergen labeling and note contact reactions, which raises real risk for children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Asthma - Some reviews list lung irritation from this ingredient and note respiratory effects in people handling the oil. Authorities and literature flag eye/lung irritation, so breathing problems or asthma flare-ups are possible if a child inhales it.

Organ Risk - Reviews from national agencies report possible non-reproductive organ toxicity at some levels of concern. Environment Canada and the European Chemicals Agency have classified or noted potential harm to organs with repeated or high exposures, so frequent heavy use could carry organ risk.

Builds Up - Some environmental assessments and peer-reviewed studies report the ingredient can persist and bioaccumulate in wildlife. Commission and literature findings say it may build up in the environment and animals over time.

Environmental - Environmental authorities and studies flag this oil as toxic to wildlife and the environment. Agencies such as Environment Canada and the European Chemicals Agency list ecological toxicity concerns, so widespread release or disposal could harm plants and animals.

Banned - This ingredient is subject to use limits and restrictions in cosmetics and requires allergen labeling in some regions. International fragrance and cosmetics panels recommend concentration or use limits, and some regulatory lists restrict its use, so it is restricted in parts of the world.
