#Green tangerine Patch#

There is also an often cited Japanese study that made patch tests with lavender oil for 9 years and found a huge increase in lavender oil sensitivity in 1997 (from 1.1% in 1990 to 8.7% in 1997 and 13.9% in 1998). To make things even worse, lavender oil seems to be cytotoxic from concentrations as low as 0.25% (concentration up to 0.125% were ok). The two main components are linalyl acetate (about 50%) and linalool (about 35%) and both autoxidise on exposure to the air forming strong contact allergens. Now, let us look at the cons: similar to a bunch of other essential oils, the main components of lavender oil are potentially irritating fragrant components. (The main components of the flower essential oil are linalyl acetate and linalool while it is 1,8-Cineole in the essential oil of the leaves.) We have found a study confirming this but it was the essential oil of the leaves and not the much more commonly used flowers and the two differ in their main chemical compounds very much. Lavender oil is also often claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties. It also has some local pain relieving and muscle relaxing magical powers. Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf ExtractĪnother pro is that lavender oil has some nice antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
