Essential and carrier oils you should be careful of (Part 2)

Phototoxicity is a chemically induced irritation which needs light. Phototoxic substances undergo molecular changes when they absorb light particles - and these transformed chemicals are what causes burn-like patches such as this.

Now, most products I see which are catered towards natural ingredients contain essential oils. Some of these "brightening" oils increase the risk of photosensitivity and for skin care conscious individuals like me, care must be ensured that products using essential oils are well formulated.
So which of the numerous essential oils should we be aware of? According to this paper by Anthony Dweck, the following essential oils are phototoxic:

- Amni visnaga oil
- Angelica root oil
- Bergamot oil, expressed
- Cumin oil
- Fig leaf absolute
- Grapefruit oil
- Lemon oil, cold pressed
- Lime oil, expressed
- Mandarin oil, cold-pressed
- Opoponax oil, absolute, resinoid
- Orange oil bitter
- Parsley leaf oil
- Petitgrain Mandarin oil
- Rue oil
- Tagetes oil and absolute
- Tangerine oil, cold-pressed
- Verbena oil

Personally, I have a couple of products with grapefruit extracts in them and I am sure that the formulators have it all thought out. But as an added protection, I only use the product at night. I am also diligent with my sunscreen use, as well.

How about you? Care to share your experience with products containing phototoxic oils?
