Interactions
incompatible with: No well-established ingredient incompatibilities, but use caution when combining with other potentially sensitizing botanicals or high-fragrance formulas., If a product already contains strong exfoliants or low-pH actives, sensitive users may perceive more stinging due to the botanical base rather than a specific chemical reaction.
Risks & Warnings
Can trigger irritation or urticarial/allergic reactions in sensitive users; topical use has been reported to cause rash in rare cases. As with most botanicals, composition varies by extraction method, so sensitization risk is not fully predictable.
