When using lime essential oil, we advise you to take into account the recommendations of aromatherapists regarding phototoxicity:

DISTILLED lime essential oil is extracted by distillation from the peel of the fruit and is not phototoxic (R. Tisserand, R. Young "Essential Oil Safety", 2014). However, distilled limes sometimes contain extremely low levels of citropten, bergapten, so there is still a small chance of a reaction with the sun. It is rich in limonene, 1.8 cineole. Due to the presence of limonene, it is important to take care of the citrus fruit to avoid oxidation (which can cause skin sensitisation). Safe during pregnancy. Often used in the food industry. 


Pressed lime essential oil is extracted from the peel by pressing. Rich in limonene, beta-pinene. Lemonene may cause slight skin sensitisation if oxidised, stale. Important: Pressed lime essential oil is phototoxic it reacts with the sun! Do not use 12 hours before going out in the sun. In the case of limes in particular, the risk is considered moderate, and dilute to 0.7% when applied to the skin (R. Tisserand, R. Young "Essential Oil Safety", 2014).
