EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS LEAF OIL
Is EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS LEAF OIL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil is best approached cautiously on skin affected by seborrheic dermatitis. It is mainly a fragrant essential oil, and fragrance or essential-oil exposure can sting or irritate skin whose barrier is already inflamed.
A small patch-test report documents contact reactions to eucalyptus oil, but there is no good evidence that this cosmetic ingredient treats human seb derm. During an active flare, a fragrance-free option is usually easier to assess. Stop if it causes burning, itching or redness.
