Cautions & Contraindications
A note about toxicity: toxic constituent refers to the constituent that can become a toxin in your body if used longer than the recommended time or used more than the recommended dosage.
Lemon - The toxic constituent is furocoumarin, which can cause irritation and sensitization, and may be phototoxic. In an expressed oil there is generally a higher amount of furocoumarins than in a distilled oil. In the European Union the concentration of expressed lemon oil in a finished cosmetic product must fall below the permitted level of one part per million (ppm989). Use in moderation and stay out of direct sunlight when expressed lemon oil is used on the skin.
Age Requirements
Lemon: 2+
