- Pets
Citrus oils can be irritating to cats and some small pets — diffuse in well-ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.

Steam-distilled Yuzu is generally considered non-phototoxic, but caution is advised on freshly exposed skin in strong sun.

Do not ingest unless under the guidance of a qualified aromatherapy or medical professional.

Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight; refrigeration extends freshness.
