Orange oil:
Main constituents:- Limonene, citral, citronellal, geraniol, linalol,
perminol,bergapten, auraptenol and acids has geraniol (a molecule that
makes henna happy) ... but the rest aren't very promising, and the
geraniol isn't exactly at the top of the list.

And sez: http://www.fragrant.demon.co.uk/aroma3.html "Warning Do not
use on the skin in direct sunlight." as well as mentioning that it's a
skin irritant.

Orange oil, therefore would not be a good choice, IMHO.

Dig deep into sites like www.fragrant.demon .... look at the warnings,
look at the specific constituent terpines. That'll save you years of
fiddling about and show you some suprises too!

Motherlode of EO info ...look at "Descriptions of Oils"
