Sweet Orange essential oil is dermocaustic in its purest form. Always dilute it for cutaneous or oral application. Due to its high concentration of limonene, HE is allergenic. It is therefore preferable to test it before using it (1 to 2 drops in the bend of the elbow and wait 24 hours for there to be no reaction).
