Our take
Is Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil a Good Ingredient?
Rated Fair because it's prized for its aroma rather than proven for specific skin results. It contains fragrance allergens and may increase irritation risk at high levels or on sensitive skin, which is enough to keep it out of Good.

Safety
Use well diluted; essential oils can irritate, especially on sensitive or compromised skin. Discontinue if redness or stinging occurs and keep away from the eye area.
