Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil Safety

Use Responsibly Lemon Myrtle essential oil is highly concentrated and must be used with proper care to ensure safe and effective results.

Dilute Before Topical Use Always dilute Lemon Myrtle essential oil with a carrier oil before applying to skin. Undiluted citrus oils can cause significant irritation, sensitivity, or allergic reactions.

Photosensitivity Warning Lemon Myrtle oil may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure or UV rays for at least 12 hours after topical application to prevent skin reactions or burns.

Do not ingest essential oils.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Consult a healthcare professional before using Lemon Myrtle oil if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Keep Away from Children & Pets Store essential oils securely out of reach. Use caution when using around children and pets, as citrus oils can be particularly irritating.

Patch Test Perform a patch test before first use by applying diluted oil to a small area of skin and waiting 24 hours to check for any reaction.

Avoid Sensitive Areas Keep away from eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes, and broken or damaged skin.

When used correctly, Lemon Myrtle essential oil offers powerful natural benefits. Always prioritize safety.
