For adults: black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed oil used on the skin is generally safe. The safety listing shows low concerns for cancer, allergy, or effects on pregnancy and reproduction.
Before using on a larger area, do a patch test: put a small drop on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours for any reaction. Start with a small amount in any product that contains this oil. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before regular use.
Stop use and rinse if you get redness, itching, swelling, blistering or any strong irritation. Avoid if you have a known allergy to black cumin or other seed oils. Keep out of reach of children and avoid contact with eyes. These precautions come from the ingredient's safety listing, which notes a low risk for allergy but still recommends watching for skin reactions.
