Essential Oils: Contact Allergy and Chemical Composition provides a
full review of contact allergy to essential oils along with
detailed analyses of the chemical composition of essential oils
known to cause contact allergy. In addition to literature data,
this book presents the results of nearly 6,400 previously
unpublished sample analyses, by far the largest set of essential
oils analyses ever reported in a single source of scientific
literature. Covering 91 essential oils and two absolutes, the book
presents an alphabetical list of all 4,350 ingredients that have
been identified in them, a list of chemicals known to cause contact
allergy and allergic contact dermatitis, and tabular indications of
the ingredients that can be found in each essential oil. The book
discusses contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis for each
of the oils and absolutes, sometimes able to provide only one or
two reports but drawing upon considerable amounts of literature in
other cases, such as with tea tree oil, ylang-ylang oil, lavender
oil, rose oil, turpentine oil, jasmine absolute, and sandalwood
oil. While limited information on the main components and their
concentrations would be enough for most dermatologists, this book
gives extensive coverage not only to improve levels of medical
knowledge and quality of patient care, but also for the benefit of
professionals beyond clinical study and practice, such as chemists
in the perfume and cosmetics industries, perfumers, academic
scientists working with essential oils and fragrances,
aromatherapists, legislators, and those involved in the production,
sale, and acquisition of essential oils. Key Features: Provides a
full literature review of contact allergy to and chemical
composition of 91 essential oils and two absolutes Presents the
largest set of analytical reports on essential oils in scientific
literature to date Provides tables of all chemicals which can be
found in each essential oil with concentrations Presents an
alphabetical list of 4,350 ingredients identified in the oils and
absolutes with their synonyms and specifying in which oils each
chemical can be present Provides a tabular list of all known
allergens to the oils discussed Includes reference tables on the
quantitative composition of essential oils that are of regulatory
use to the fragrance industry Covers an extensive amount of
information to benefit non-medical professionals involved with the
research, production, distribution, and use of essential oils and
products containing essential oils
