PRECAUTIONS
When applied topically, neroli may increase your susceptibility to sunburn.
Try to limit your exposure to the sun or use extra sun protection.
Correct storage of neroli oil is also important as citrus oils
are the quickest to evaporate.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and store in a closet away from sunlight.
The oil should be clear, as any cloudiness may indicate spoilage
that can lead to skin problems.
When these simple precautions are followed,
neroli is a safe and effective essential oil.

of orange trees, and it takes virtually a ton of flowers
to produce a mere quart of oil.
Neroli is named after the Princess Nerole,

especially in wintertime.
