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

Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Naturally occurring citrus fragrance constituents may cause irritation or allergic sensitisation in susceptible individuals.

Cold-pressed citrus oils can vary in their naturally occurring constituents. Leave-on cosmetic use should follow the supplier’s current Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet and product-category-specific IFRA documentation. As a conservative precaution, protect the application area from direct sunlight and ultraviolet exposure for at least 12 hours after topical use. IFRA documentation has separately evaluated cold-pressed tangerine oil within standards addressing citrus materials and photoreactive constituents.

Avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, nostrils, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, freshly shaved or highly sensitive skin.

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 area. Allow children and pets to move away from the aroma.

Discontinue use if redness, itching, irritation, coughing, headache or discomfort occurs.

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