Skin Sensitivity: May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Always perform a patch test before first use.

Sun Exposure: Sweet orange is not considered phototoxic, so no sun-exposure wait is needed after topical use. Store tightly capped and use within its shelf life, since oxidized citrus oil is more likely to irritate skin.

Pregnancy & Nursing: Generally considered gentle, but consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or while nursing.

Safe Use: Highly concentrated. Always dilute before topical use. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children. Consult a healthcare provider if under medical care or taking medications. FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
