For adults: marjoram leaf oil is generally safe on the skin when used in small, diluted amounts. It is mainly used for scent and is not linked to cancer or reproductive harm. The biggest everyday risk is skin irritation in people with sensitive skin.
If you want to use it, do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use only diluted oil or products that list it as an ingredient, avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin, and stop use if you get a reaction. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known allergy to similar herbs, check with your healthcare provider first.
Notes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration say this oil is used in food and as an additive in some cases, and Environment Canada finds it is not expected to be organ-toxic. However, some product-verification programs restrict its use unless makers provide extra safety information. Watch for skin redness, itching, or swelling and avoid heavy or repeated use if you are using other products that contain the same oil (multiple exposure). Keep concentrated oils away from children and do not use directly on infants or very young children without medical advice.
