Photosensitivty/toxicity

[Mouse]

I have this wonderful lotion that I love, a chamomile lotion that, just my luck, has been discontinued. I have a very small bottle of chamomile EO that I use when I bathe, just a drop or two when I need it. So tonight I decided to make a lotion out of what I have left- I used chamomile, a little lavender, and before I remembered the phototoxic issues, I rounded it out with Orange EO. Can I still use it? What would happen to me? I could just use it on my legs, since those babies never see the light of day!

I don't think it's going to be a major issue this time of the year. From what I understand about phototoxity is you want to stay out of strong direct sunlight for a period of time. I think it's 24 hours but I might be wrong about the time.

Just don't apply it and hop in a tanning bed.
