Dissolving skin oils
In the "Hazards" section, there is the following sentence: "The limonene which is the main component of the oil is a mild irritant, as it dissolves protective skin oils.". Several things are questionable or unclear in this statement:

1) What exactly is meant by "protective skin oils"? Sebum? Stratum corneum lipids? Just the triglyceride fraction (which would chemically resemble vegetable oil) of sebum and SC lipids?

2) What is exactly meant by "dissolves"? Hydrolysis? Another kind of chemical degradation? Which one?

3) From which reliable source does the claim of limonene dissolving skin oils originate? A brief Google search clearly demonstrates that there is widespread duplication of this Wikipedia article's assertions about limonene's hazards - including the one of dissolving skin oils. Where is the citable source for this article to prove that limonene in fact dissolves skin oils? And where is the citable clarification on what "skin oils" and "dissolve" actually mean in this context?

Aromatherapy section irrelevancy?
In the Aromatherapy section, it does not specify the use of orange oil as a so-called fragrance. It only declares that aromatherapy is a pseudoscience, which is not relevant to orange oil, not to mention even the main article does not state this fact. Are there any sources for orange oil based aromatherapy or can the section be removed? Basilicon (talk) 06:26, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
