FAQ:
Is lemon oil phototoxic? Yes, cold-pressed lemon oil contains furocoumarins, which can cause skin reactions when in contact with skin and exposed to UV radiation. After application, direct sun exposure should be avoided for approximately 12 hours.
What is the difference between cold-pressed and distilled lemon oil? Cold-pressed lemon oil is pressed directly from the fruit peel and particularly well preserves the authentic, fresh peel scent, while distilled oils often appear somewhat milder and less fruity.
