365 by Whole Foods Market Roll-On Tangerine & Blue Tansy Essential Oils
At a glance
Summary
This roll-on is essential oils only — tangerine, sweet and blood orange, grapefruit, blue tansy, balsam Peru, wild marjoram and sandalwood — diluted in apricot kernel, jojoba and sunflower oils with vitamin E, with no synthetic fragrance. Because it is applied to skin, two ingredients hold it back: balsam Peru is one of the most common contact allergens, and cold-pressed citrus peel oils (grapefruit especially) can cause sun sensitivity and oxidize into skin sensitizers.
