Concern level

Moderate concern

Essential oil obtained from the leaves or herb of Salvia officinalis (sage). It is used mainly as a fragrance ingredient and masking agent, with some skin-conditioning use in cosmetics. CIR and PubChem describe it as a volatile/essential oil of sage, and it is commonly associated with aromatic and deodorizing formulations.

Interactions

incompatible with: other essential oils/fragrance allergens, strong exfoliating acids on sensitive skin, retinoids on reactive skin, benzoyl peroxide on irritated skin, leave-on products for compromised or very sensitive skin

Risks & Warnings

Can be a common allergen/irritant due to its essential-oil composition (notably thujone, camphor, and 1,8-cineole). May aggravate sensitive, compromised, or eczema-prone skin. Avoid use near eyes and on broken skin. Pregnancy and breastfeeding caution is prudent because sage oil has traditional lactation-suppressing use and there are insufficient safety data for these populations.
