oregano extract

Mid risk

FunctionBotanical

What it is — Oregano Extract (INCI: Origanum Vulgare Extract) is an aromatic herb extract used for its naturally occurring, plant-derived antioxidant and antimicrobial character.

What it does — It is included in some formulas for a supporting, freshening role and for its aromatic botanical profile rather than as a headline skincare active.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in botanical toners, scalp products and cleansers, usually within a wider blend.

Who it suits / good to know — Aromatic herb extracts can be sensitising for some people, so those with reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin may prefer to approach it cautiously. Fragrance-free or lower-botanical options exist if that is a known trigger.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: an aromatic herb extract with sensitisation potential. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - aromatic herb extract with sensitization potential.
