Lemon oil contains numerous fragrance chemicals that can cause a reaction when on skin that’s subsequently exposed to sunlight. Examples of the fragrance chemicals in lemon oil include limonene, bergapten and oxypeucedanin. The amount of lemon oil in cosmetics varies but based on published studies.
