Storage

Essential oils are sensitive to UV radiation and to the gradual evaporation of their volatile constituents. It is therefore essential to store your essential oils in a dark glass or aluminium bottle with a tightly fitting cap, at a temperature between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F).

Precautions

• This oil is photosensitising. Do not expose yourself to the sun for at least 6 hours after a cutaneous application of this oil.

• Do not use during the first 3 months of pregnancy.

• May be irritating to the skin (dermocaustic): always dilute well in a carrier oil for cutaneous use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Avoid contact with eyes.

• Certain natural compounds contained in this essential oil may present a risk of allergy in certain sensitive individuals when the essential oil is incorporated into a cosmetic composition (according to the 7th Amendment of the European Directive on cosmetic products (2003/15/EC)): limonene, linalool, citral (geranial and neral).

• As a general rule, always test-apply your mixture in the crease of the elbow at least 48 hours before use.
