adults • Skin contact product
For adults (grown-ups): this oil is used in fragrances and skin products. Most adults can use it, but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some people.
If you want to try a product with this oil, do a small patch test on clean skin (inside of the forearm) and wait 24–48 hours. If you use the essential oil form, only use it diluted in a carrier oil and follow product directions. Stop use right away if you get redness, itching, burning, or swelling.
This oil is listed as a known allergen by the EU Cosmetics Directive — watch for redness, itching, hives, or breathing problems. Environment Canada has flagged possible organ toxicity and environmental harm, so avoid heavy or repeated use over large skin areas and avoid releasing large amounts into the environment (for example, do not pour leftover oil down drains). If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of severe allergies or asthma, talk with a healthcare professional before using.
