Dillution guideline
- For skin use, dilute to 2-3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan.
- Patch test
Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
- Children
Keep out of reach of children; mandarin is generally regarded as one of the gentler citrus oils, but for children over 3 use only at very low dilution and consult a qualified aromatherapist.
- Pregnancy
If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use.
- Pets
Keep away from pets; this oil is high in limonene, which is of particular concern for cats. Diffuse only in ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.
- Photosensitivity
Mandarin is not generally classified as phototoxic, unlike bergamot, lime, lemon and bitter orange, because it contains very little furocoumarin. Confirm against your supplier documentation, and take normal care with any expressed citrus oil on sun-exposed skin.
- Ingestion
Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.
- Storage
Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; citrus oils are limonene-rich, oxidise readily, and are best used within about 12 months of opening.
