What it is — Rosemary Oil (INCI: Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil) is an essential oil from rosemary, used both as a natural fragrance and as a popular scalp ingredient.

What it does — It contributes a fresh, herbal scent and appears in scalp products positioned around a stimulated, refreshed scalp. It has been the subject of some small studies in a hair-care context, but evidence is still limited, so it is best read as a supporting ingredient rather than a proven treatment.

Typical use — It appears in scalp tonics, oils, shampoos and some skin products, usually at low levels.

Who it suits / good to know — Essential oils carry naturally occurring fragrance allergens, so those with reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin or scalp may prefer to approach it cautiously and keep it well diluted. For diagnosed hair loss, a clinician can advise.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: an aromatic essential oil that can contain fragrance allergens and sensitisers. 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 essential oil that can contain fragrance allergens and sensitizers.
