Essential oils are volatile liquids that are distilled from various parts of plants. Essential oils have a chemical structure that is similar to that found in human cells. This makes essential oils compatible with human protein and enables them to be readily identified and accepted by the body. Essential oils have a unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues. When applied topically or to the feet essential oils have the ability to travel throughout the body within minutes. All living plants have a powerful life force coursing through them. While extracting the essential oils from these plants we are preserving that life force energy to be used therapeutically.  With antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and many other properties these oils can assist you in your quest for well being of mind, body and spirit.

Phototoxic Oils

Certain essential oils are said to be phototoxic because they contain furanocoumarins. If applied directly to the skin followed by exposure to sunlight or a tanning light, the molecules of these oils amplify the untraviolet (UV) portion of the spectrum and can cause long-term, even permanent, skin discoloration as well as severe sunburn.
It is recommend to wait twelve hours following an application of phototoxic oils to the skin before exposure to sunlight or the UV radiation of a tanning booth.

Applying oils with furanocoumarins after sundown poses no problems then or the next day.  One can go out into sunlight after applying phototoxic oils if the parts of the body receiving the oils are well covered with clothing. 


Common essential Oils Considered Phototoxic are:

Angelica . . . . . . . . . . (Angelica archangelica)
Bergamot . . . . . . . . . (Citrus bergamia)
Bitter Orange . . . . . . (Citrus aurantium)
Grapefruit. . . . . . . . . (Citrus paradisi)
Lemon. . . . . . . . . . . . (Citrus limon)
Lime . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Citrus aurantifolia)
Rue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Ruta graveolens)

Although Wellness, White Light and Zachary contain such oils, they are not in a quantity that creates phototoxicity!
