To avoid limonene you will have to avoid citrus fruits and other plants and foods that contain limonene.

You will need to read any product ingredient labels and look for limonene or other synonyms such as p-Menth-1,8-diene, and avoid "fragrance" or "Parfum" in skincare, detergents and cosmetics.

Limonene is a cyclic monoterpene that is found in the essential oils of citrus fruits and some other plants.

Limonene is also known for it's orange like scent and is also has widespread use in foods, fragrances and some cleaning products.

limonene is also beneficial as it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as antimicrobial properties and is also being studied as having the potential for treating certain cancers and reducing anxiety as well as aiding in drug delivery.

In food amounts, limonene is generally safe, although high dosages and high dose supplements of limonene might cause skin reactions and even interact with certain liver medications.

So you should always consult with your doctor before taking any limonene supplements.

Limonene acts as an antioxidant in the body, absorbing and removing damaging free radicals before they can injure cells.

Dietary limonene may help lower your risk of certain cancers and signs of aging by reducing the amount of oxidative stress on your body.
