As a single-ingredient, cold-pressed cosmetic oil, this product is often chosen by those seeking simple formulas. However, any cosmetic ingredient can cause a reaction in individuals with specific sensitivities or allergies. To assess how your skin responds, it's important to conduct a patch test before general use.
Perform a patch test: Apply a small amount of oil (about the size of a pea) to a discreet area of skin, such as the inside of your wrist or behind your ear. Leave it on for 24 hours without washing it off. Observe the area for any signs of redness, itching, stinging, or rash. If no reaction occurs, the oil is likely suitable for you. When beginning regular use on the body, start with a small amount on areas that tend to feel coarse, like elbows or knees. If you plan to use it on your face, be especially conservative initially, applying a tiny dot to the cheek or jawline. For external use only; avoid the delicate eye area. Stop use immediately if any signs of sensitivity appear. Consult a specialist before use if you have chronic skin conditions, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
