adults • Skin contact product
For adults, this eucalyptus leaf/twig oil can be used on the skin but can cause allergic reactions or irritation for some people. It is not usually dangerous for healthy adults when used properly.
If you’re an adult: use products that already have the oil diluted rather than applying pure oil. Do a small patch test on forearm and wait 24 hours before regular use. Avoid applying on broken or irritated skin, keep it away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if you get redness, a rash, or trouble breathing. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have asthma or severe allergies, check with your healthcare provider before use.
Watch for signs of allergy or irritation (redness, itching, swelling, hives, wheezing). Regulatory bodies such as Health Canada note restrictions on use in cosmetics, and agencies like the European Chemicals Agency and Cosmetic Ingredient Review report case studies of allergic reactions — these are the sources for the allergy/irritation concerns. Also avoid using the undiluted oil and avoid heavy inhalation of concentrated vapors.
