Cautions & Safe Use
For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Never apply undiluted Lemon Essential Oil directly to the skin.
Cold-pressed or expressed Lemon Essential Oil may increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. For leave-on products, follow the supplier’s current batch-specific IFRA certificate. Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds and other ultraviolet exposure on the application area for at least 12 hours after topical use.
Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas.
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 oils may oxidise after prolonged exposure to air, heat or sunlight, which can increase the possibility of skin sensitivity. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place away from heat, sparks and open flames.
