Cited dermal maximum · leave-on: No restriction cited
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 furocoumarin-related phototoxic restriction was identified in the consulted Siberian fir sources.

Contraindications & cautions

minorTisserand and Young indicate a low risk of skin sensitization for Siberian fir oil but advise avoiding oxidized oil.

About this composition

This profile is anchored to a live GC-MS report for a genuine Abies sibirica sample and shows a bornyl-acetate-rich conifer profile with camphene, alpha-pinene, delta-3-carene, and limonene as the main supporting terpenes.

traditionally used in aromatherapy for a grounding, forest-fresh, invigorating effect
reported to support easy breathing when diffused
used in massage blends for muscle and joint comfort after activity
traditionally associated with mental clarity and a sense of vitality
used in perfumery and sauna/spa traditions for its resinous, sweet-balsamic conifer note

What we're still learning · 4 data gaps

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

max_dermal_pct 100 reflects the archive's unrestricted-oil convention because the cited public safety source reports no specific dermal maximum for Siberian fir oil rather than publishing a numeric ceiling.
Odor intensity 50 is a normalization of AromaWeb's categorical 'Medium' aroma strength into the archive's numeric scale rather than a directly published 0-100 measurement.
No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour data were verified in this pass.
beta-Phellandrene, Santene, beta-Pinene, and Borneol rows were added by reuse of the same-species corpus sibling directory/oils/fir-needle-siberian.json (Abies sibirica, steam distillation, REVIVE GC/MS report), not from a lot-specific GC-MS of this exact oil record; retained for closure improvement (0.8545 -> 0.9479).
