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.

Skin Benefits

Provides a rich, lasting floral aroma that elevates sensorial appeal. Intended for scent rather than targeted skincare performance.

Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics

Common in fine fragrances, body oils, hair oils, and bath soaks; occasionally scents serums or creams at very low concentrations.

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.
