Practical Uses of Orange Essential Oil: Orange Blends Very Well With: Orange essential oil is one of those oils that blends extremely well with and compliments other oils. Below are some of the oils we most love to combine it with: Precautions Firstly, please make you are not allergic before using it anywhere on your body. We recommend doing a patch test. Apply a few drops to the inside of your arm and then watch for any reaction. Orange oil contains limonene which can irritate your skin. For that reason, always use it diluted in a base oil when using it on your skin. You can choose grape seed, jojoba, or coconut oil. Remember that essential oils are absorbed into the body via the nose and pores (hair follicle on your skin). From there they enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. So whether you diffuse the oil or apply it to your body, it will enter your blood stream. Also, most citrus oils can cause photosensitivity (sensitive to sun burn) so remember that when applying it to your skin.
