Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil

A cold-pressed oil from lime peel with a citrus scent, containing furanocoumarins that can cause phototoxic reactions (pigmentation and irritation) when skin is exposed to sunlight. This oil is best used in rinse-off products or formulations with significant sun protection awareness, as it can trigger reactions in some individuals on sun-exposed skin.

A verdict is a reading of the published evidence, never a guarantee for your skin: any ingredient can irritate someone, so patch test new products and see a professional if you react. Concern is graded on cited evidence, never on hazard-score lists. See how we score.
