Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 >Maurice, cold pressed orange peel OIL is a photosensitizer... do we know >whether or not the wax from the peel may be? " Orange wax tested at 100%, showed: * No irritation potential (human patch test), * No phototoxicity (human test), and * No iirrtation potential (in vitro toxicity). " (1) " In the past, citrus products have produced slight irritation and phototoxic effects due to certain terpenes. Orange wax has no irritation potential and no phototoxicity largely due to the absence of those terpenes and the antiinflammatory properties of the sterols and sterol esters " (1) >we won't use nonorganic cold pressed citrus oils, because when the crop is >sprayed with pesticides...guess where the spray lands... and analysis has >proven that the chemicals sprayed will come thru in the cold pressed oil. > >wouldn't they also come thru in the wax, since it's also produced by some >form of mechanical means? > >and if so...do you want pesticide residue in lip balm???

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Would that mean that bitter orange would have no terpenes? My understanding is that this comes from the rind,,,,or is that wrong information? Dee ~ ><}}}*>~~><}}}*>~~ ><}}}*>~ ----- Original Message ----- From: Maurice O.
