Is this lotion suitable for sensitive scalps, and what precautions should I take due to the essential oils?

This lotion is a long-contact cosmetic that combines stimulating botanicals with fragrant essential oils. While ingredients like aloe vera help soften the scalp, the presence of ginger extract and essential oils (rosemary and ylang-ylang) means the formula is not inherently gentle for everyone. If you have a reactive scalp, a history of contact dermatitis, or known sensitivities to fragranced ingredients, you should exercise caution.

Before using this product on your entire scalp, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount to a discreet area of skin, such as the inner elbow or behind the ear, and wait 24 hours to check for any redness, itching, or irritation. If any adverse reaction occurs, do not use the product. Additionally, strictly avoid applying this lotion to any areas of the scalp that are irritated, sunburned, or have broken skin, as this can increase the risk of stinging or allergic response.

Even if you have not used essential oils before, consider that individual tolerance varies. The warming effect of the ginger is intended to be invigorating, but for some, it may be too intense. Start by using the lotion once or twice a week to assess your scalp's tolerance before incorporating it into a daily routine. If you experience persistent discomfort, discontinue use immediately. This product is not a substitute for medical treatment for scalp conditions; consult a specialist if you have chronic skin issues or are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
