Natural Oil Mom

Not all citrus oils are automatically photosensitive… and the way an oil is extracted actually matters more than most people realize. ☀️

For example, distilled Lime essential oil is considered non-phototoxic, while cold-pressed Lime can increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays.

Some single oils that may cause photosensitive reactions include:
• Bergamot
• Grapefruit
• Lemon
• Lime
• Wild Orange
• Tangerine
• Kumquat
• Cumin

A few blends can also increase sun sensitivity because they contain citrus oils, including:
• Citrus Bliss®
• Citrus Bloom®
• On Guard®
• Purify®
• MetaPWR®
• Zendocrine®
…and several others.

The safest thing you can do? Always check the label directions before applying oils topically and spending extended time outdoors.

For a deeper dive into photosensitivity and essential oils, this video explains it really well:

Have you ever heard that some essential oils and sunshine don’t mix well?

Certain oils can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, a reaction known as phototoxicity or photosensitivity. This can happen when specific oils are applied to the skin before spending time in direct sunlight (yes, also tanning beds)

Possible reactions may include:
• Redness
• Burning
• Itching
• Blistering
• Skin discoloration

These reactions can sometimes show up within hours after sun exposure and may become fairly intense depending on the oil used, the amount applied, and how long you stay in the sun.

Quick errands outside usually aren’t a big concern, but long beach days, gardening, pool time, or outdoor sports are where extra caution matters most.

As a general rule, avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least 12–72 hours after applying phototoxic oils to the skin.
Next up: which essential oils you should be careful with in the sun.
