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: 3.3%
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 public source reviewed in this pass identified sugandha kokila berry oil as a furocoumarin-driven phototoxic oil.

Contraindications & cautions

moderateThis oil contains methyl eugenol (reported <0.80%), a constituent IFRA restricts due to potential genotoxic/carcinogenic activity in animal studies; standard aromatherapy safety guidance is to avoid or strictly limit oils with measurable methyl eugenol content during pregnancy.

About this composition

This record is anchored to the directly readable Good Scents transcription of Adhikary et al. for Nepalese sugandha kokila berry oil, which shows a mixed oxide-plus-phenylpropanoid profile led by trans-methyl cinnamate and 1,8-cineole with alpha-terpineol, beta-caryophyllene, terpinen-4-ol, and p-cymene support. Live supplier pages from Laboratoire Altho and Pureness were used only to confirm berry distillation identity, public chemotype wording, and odor context. Additional minor constituents were cross-referenced from the same Good Scents Company transcription of Adhikary et al. (1992) typical G.C. analysis peak table to extend compositional closure.
