For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Never apply undiluted Mandarin Essential Oil directly to the skin.

Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas.

Current IFRA findings indicate that Mandarin Oil does not contain relevant quantities of phototoxic furocoumarins and is therefore not covered by its general phototoxic citrus-oil restriction. Nevertheless, leave-on cosmetic use should follow the supplier’s latest batch-specific IFRA certificate and safety documentation.

Do not apply to broken, inflamed, freshly shaved or highly sensitive skin. Discontinue use if redness, itching, irritation or discomfort occurs.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, while taking medication or if you have allergies, sensitive skin or a medical condition.

Use diffusers intermittently in a spacious, well-ventilated room. Allow children and pets to move away from the aromatic area.

Citrus essential oils may oxidise after prolonged exposure to air, heat or sunlight, potentially increasing the risk of skin sensitivity. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place away from heat, sparks and open flames.
