ℹ️General Overview
For adults, annatto (annatto seed) oil applied to the skin is generally safe and has a low risk of harm. Most people tolerate it well, though a few may have skin sensitivity or an allergic reaction.
✅What to Do
If you want to try a product with annatto oil, do a small patch test first: apply a tiny amount to the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Don’t put it on broken or inflamed skin. Start with products that list annatto oil low on the ingredient list (lower concentration). Stop use and wash the area if you get redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. If you have a known allergy to annatto (also called achiote) or related natural colorants, avoid it.
