Folded Citrus and Photosensitization

[Guest guest]

Hey y'all,

 

Whether or not raw CP Orange Oil can or does cause photosensitization is

controversial .. methinks .. cause its not normally used in cosmetics so

its not been properly tested. It has been tested but maybe not as well

as they test other oils commonly used in the cosmetics industry. There

are variables and exceptions .. like photosensitization being noticed by

those who harvest the fruits and have probably gotta lotta oil on their

hands and/or body .. so concentration might be the issue.

 

On the other hand .. some folks get irritated and maybe get a mild form

of photosensitization from the least bit of exposure to some citrus oils

(all cold-pressed citrus is not photosensitizing) .. and an example that

comes to mind is Chris. When she and her galfriend from New Yawk City

visited here Chris applied some Lemon Cologne to her arms and neck. Its

a very commonly used cologne here in Turkey .. EVERYBODY uses it .. get

on a bus of plane and the stewardess will come by and squirt it into the

hands of passengers .. visit a home and the first thing they do is bring

out the bottle of Lemon Cologne .. its a refresher and it cools cause it

is mostly alcohol. Howsomever .. Chris had a negative reaction to it.

 

Folded oils have the terpenes removed .. and the scent and the oil lasts

longer. Is it a natural oil? Nope! Folding is more often than not

done for the foods and flavoring industry .. and in cosmetics.
