Children

Unlike most citrus oils, sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) is NOT phototoxic — safer for daytime use. Do not confuse with bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) which IS phototoxic.

Adults

Sweet orange is one of the few citrus oils that is NOT phototoxic — safe to apply before sun exposure. Shelf life shorter than most oils (~1 year) — oxidized citrus oils can cause skin sensitization.
