I have sensitive skin that sometimes reacts to perfumed products. Is this extract likely to cause irritation?

The formula is a concentrated bath cosmetic containing both conifer extracts and a blend of essential oils (fir, pine, juniper, cedar, cypress). Essential oils are potent aromatic compounds that can be sensitizing for some individuals, especially if skin is already reactive or easily irritated. If you have sensitive skin, the prudent approach is to start with a much smaller amount than recommended—perhaps a quarter or half of the usual dose—in your bath and pay close attention to how your skin feels during and after soaking. Avoid use on any damaged or broken skin. If you’re uncertain, doing a patch test by applying a diluted drop on your inner forearm and waiting 24 hours can help gauge tolerance. Consult a specialist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a chronic skin condition, or are on medication that affects skin sensitivity.
