Mid risk

FunctionEssential Oil

What it is — Guaiacum Officinale Wood Oil is an aromatic essential oil from guaiac wood, used mainly for natural scent.

What it does — It contributes a warm, woody aroma to a formula. Like most essential oils it contains naturally occurring fragrance constituents.

Typical use — Found in fragranced skin, body and hair products at low levels.

Who it suits / good to know — Best for those who enjoy naturally scented products and tolerate essential oils; fragrance-sensitive or reactive skin may prefer to avoid it.

Safety — Graded mid risk because, as a fragrant essential oil, it can carry sensitizing constituents. This is general information, not medical advice. Patch-test before wider use and avoid on broken or reactive skin.
