It is also a potential mucous membrane irritant (low risk) and skin sensitizer (low risk) - avoid use on hypersensitive, diseased, or damaged skin and on children less than 2 years of age. Please note that this oil contains methyl eugenol which is recognized as potentially carcinogenic by the IFRA (based on studies of high dosages in rodents). However, it should be noted that there is no evidence that tumors in humans have ever been induced by the use of essential oils. IFRA recommends a maximum dermal use level of 0.01%; Tisserand recommends 0.5%. Dilute before using. A patch test should be performed before use for those with sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe FDA has not evaluated the statements on this website.
