| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Skin irritation | Uncommon | May cause mild redness or stinging, particularly on sensitive skin due to natural acids and fragrance components. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Uncommon | Limonene and other citrus constituents are known sensitizers and can trigger reactions in predisposed individuals. |
| Phototoxicity/photosensitivity | Rare | Citrus peel extracts may contain furocoumarins (psoralens) that can increase sensitivity to UV light, though levels vary by processing. |
| Eye irritation | Rare | Contact with eyes may cause transient irritation. |
