I know that most citrus oils are phototoxic but have seen people use them in lotions etc.... What is the safe dilution rate to do this? I read the folded oils are not phototoxic. I do have 10X Orange from BB. Is that phototoxic? What about tangerine?

10X orange is usually bergaptene free. That one should be safe to use in body products.

Thats what i thought however BB's website still says they are photosensitive but only caution you not to use them in lip balms
