Jasmine

At ORY^®, we believe you should know what’s in your products and why. This page lists the published research behind what we say about jasmine flower and jasmine-infused oil. Each section starts with our claim, then tells you how well the research supports it, then lists the sources so you can read them yourself.

1. General Description and Role

Verification: Limited evidence. Skin research on jasmine flowers is limited. We found no CIR safety assessment for jasmine ingredients.

    • What it shows: Review of fragrance ingredients, including jasmine.

2. Composition and Production

Verification: Supported. Several of these compounds are recognized fragrance allergens. ORY^® infused oils are made by steeping dried plant material in a carrier oil. The carrier oil makes up most of the finished product, so its own properties matter as much as the botanical’s — including allergy: nut-derived carrier oils such as sweet almond oil may not suit people with tree-nut allergies.

    • What it shows: Describes fragrance allergens.

3. Skin Type Suitability

Verification: Supported, with caveats. Fragrance compounds in jasmine can cause allergic contact dermatitis in some people.

    • What it shows: Review of fragrance allergy.

4. Hair and Scalp Suitability

Verification: Limited evidence. We found no clinical studies of jasmine on hair. Use is based on tradition. ORY^® haircare products are not intended to treat scalp conditions.

    • What it shows: Fragrance safety.

5. Benefits

Verification: Limited evidence. Emollient benefits come mostly from the carrier oil. In one study of 40 volunteers, jasmine oil massaged on the skin increased breathing rate, blood pressure, and feelings of alertness; this measured the body’s response to the scent, not skin benefits, and ORY^® does not claim mood or stress effects. A rat study of jasmine leaf extract on wounds does not apply to flower-infused oil, and wound healing is a medical use.

    • What it shows: Aromatherapy massage study in volunteers.

    • What it shows: Rat wound study using leaf extract.

6. Use Across ORY^® Product Lines

Verification: Limited evidence. U.S. law (MoCRA) requires FDA to set rules for listing fragrance allergens on cosmetic labels; as of September 2026, FDA had not yet published them. ORY^® will follow them when issued.

Citations:

• • U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Fragrance allergen labeling for cosmetics (MoCRA rulemaking, RIN 0910-AI90). As of September 2026, no proposed or final rule had been published. https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202404&RIN=0910-AI90
    • What it shows: Status of FDA fragrance allergen labeling rule.
  • U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Is It a Cosmetic, a Drug, or Both? (Or Is It Soap?) https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-laws-regulations/it-cosmetic-drug-or-both-or-it-soap
    • What it shows: FDA explains how soap is regulated.

7. Pros

Verification: Limited evidence. Benefits are sensory and emollient.

Citations:

• • Hongratanaworakit, T. (2010). Stimulating effect of aromatherapy massage with jasmine oil. Natural Product Communications, 5(1), 157–162. https://doi.org/10.1177/1934578X1000500136
    • What it shows: Sensory study.

8. Cons

Verification: Supported. We list these limits so you have the full picture:

• • Fragrance allergens. Can cause allergic reactions.
  • Limited evidence. Little skin research on jasmine flowers.
  • Scent fades. Soap scent needs fragrance support.
  • Cost. Real jasmine flowers and absolute are expensive.
  • No CIR assessment. No independent cosmetic safety review found.

Citations:

• • de Groot, A. C. (2020). Fragrances: Contact allergy and other adverse effects. Dermatitis, 31(1), 13–35. https://doi.org/10.1097/DER.0000000000000463
    • What it shows: Fragrance allergy.

9. Safety Notes

Verification: Supported. Follow these precautions:

• • Patch test any new product on a small area for 24–48 hours before full use.
  • If you are allergic to fragrance, patch test carefully or avoid this product.
  • If you have a tree-nut allergy, check the carrier oil before use.
  • Store infused oils away from heat and light, and discard them if they smell rancid.
  • Stop use if redness, burning, itching, or rash occurs, and talk to a healthcare provider.
  • For external use only. Avoid the eyes. Do not use on broken or seriously damaged skin.
  • If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are buying for a child, ask a healthcare provider before use.
