🌿 Juniperus communis fruit oil is not broadly restricted by IFRA for most product categories. However, certain naturally occurring constituents within the oil—like limonene, linalool, eugenol, methyl eugenol, and geraniol—do have individual concentration limits due to potential allergenic or sensitizing effects.
