  • High levels of furocoumarins, specifically 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP), in leave-on products can lead to photosensitization; concentrations must be strictly controlled below 0.0015% (15 ppm).
  • Elevated concentrations of botanical constituents like limonene and citral may induce sensitization or other adverse skin reactions.
