FunctionFragrance

What it is — Cardamom Seed Oil (INCI: Elettaria Cardamomum Seed Oil) is an aromatic essential oil used mainly for its natural scent.

What it does — It contributes a warm, spicy aroma to a formula rather than acting as a skincare active.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in scented skincare, body and hair products.

Who it suits / good to know — Like most essential oils, it can contain naturally occurring fragrance allergens, so it may not suit very sensitive or fragrance-reactive skin. Fragrance-free options exist if that is a concern.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: an aromatic essential oil that can contain fragrance allergens and sensitizers. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - aromatic essential oil that can contain fragrance allergens and sensitizers.
