CITRUS LIMON PEEL OIL
Is CITRUS LIMON PEEL OIL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Citrus Limon Peel Oil is best approached with caution on skin affected by seborrheic dermatitis. It is mainly used for fragrance and skin feel, not to control Malassezia or treat a flare.
Citrus fragrance materials can irritate or sensitise some people, and expressed lemon oil can contain phototoxic compounds. Risk varies with extraction method, concentration, product type and sun exposure, so this does not mean every formula is unsafe. During an active flare, a simpler fragrance-free product is usually easier to assess.

What is CITRUS LIMON PEEL OIL used for in skincare?
Citrus Limon Peel Oil is the volatile oil obtained from lemon peel. In skincare it is used mainly to add a fresh citrus scent and sometimes to contribute a light conditioning or sensory effect. It is often part of a wider fragrance blend, and the extraction method and any removal of phototoxic components materially affect how the ingredient should be evaluated.
