About
A fragrant essential oil that adds scent and some plant activity, but it is one of the more irritation-prone ingredient types.
This is a volatile plant oil used mostly for fragrance and minor sensory or antioxidant effects. These oils are complex mixtures rich in terpenes and fragrance allergens, so the main risk is irritation or sensitization rather than systemic toxicity, especially in leave-on products or damaged skin.
Function
Skin benefits
