Mid risk

FunctionFragrant Botanical

What it is — Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract (INCI: Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract), from oregano, is an aromatic, essential-oil-bearing plant extract.

What it does — It is commonly used for its antioxidant and naturally antimicrobial character and as a botanical accent.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in toners, masks, scalp and body products where a herbal or preservative-supporting role is wanted.

Who it suits / good to know — Oregano is rich in aromatic compounds that can be sensitizing, so it is best approached with caution on sensitive or reactive skin.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: an essential-oil-bearing plant extract with possible sensitization. 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 — essential-oil-bearing plant extract with possible sensitization.
