May cause Irritation
These ingredients are considered potential irritants, meaning they can cause irritation - but not necessarily for everyone. Everyone’s skin is different, so what bothers one person’s skin may be completely fine for someone else.
Explained
This ingredient is commonly known as Patchouli oil.
Patchouli exhibits slight antibacterial and antifungal activity from its patchoulol and alpha-patchoulene content.
However, it also contains known skin-irritating fragrances. A study from 2015 found limonene and camphor as active components of this ingredient.
Limonene and camphor are both known EU allergens.
