A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

Using it thoughtfully

Read the full safety context before bringing this oil into your routine.

Cited dermal maximum · leave-on: 4.22%
Phototoxicity: Not flagged in this profile
Oxidation risk: medium

A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.

No phototoxic furocoumarin restriction was identified for steam-distilled green crushed clary sage.

Contraindications & cautions

moderatePublic supplier safety guidance advises avoiding clary sage during pregnancy and nursing (or consulting a healthcare professional first), reflecting the traditional emmenagogue-associated caution even though no clinical evidence confirms toxicity.
minorNot recommended for children under 3 years old.
moderateAvoid combining with alcohol or before driving; the oil is reputed to have a narcotic-potentiating effect on alcohol, causing drowsiness.
moderateAvoid use in cases of hormone-dependent cancers: clary sage behaves as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), and interactions of SERMs with cancer treatments are not well understood.

About this composition

This profile is anchored to a public freshly crushed clary sage GC profiling report that explicitly references the AFNOR freshly crushed clary sage standard, combined with French supplier pages that describe green crushed clary sage as flowering tops crushed at cutting and distilled immediately without prior drying.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The `odor_intensity` value is an archive normalization from public qualitative descriptions such as 'more aromatic intensity', 'leafy green', and 'sweet hay and tea-like background'; a published numeric odor-impact scale for this exact material was not located.
A public source for numeric volatility rate or tenacity hours specific to green crushed French clary sage was not located in this pass.
