It is recommended to use antioxidants, such as alpha-tocopherol, alongside limonene-rich essential oils. These essential oils should be stored in a cool dry place, like a refrigerator. Products made for sale should be packaged in light-proof packaging, such as colored glass and solid materials.

Products containing limonene should have a peroxide value of less than 20 millimoles peroxides per liter, determined according to the FMA method, which can be downloaded from the IFRA website (see Analytical Methods).
