Monographs of essential oils that have caused contact allergy / allergic contact dermatitis
Published in Anton C. de Groot, Monographs in Contact Allergy, 2021
One individual developed allergic contact dermatitis from undiluted lovage oil and a mixture of essential oils containing jasmine absolute; she reacted to her own products, jasmine absolute, lovage oil, cananga oil, eugenol and isoeugenol (21); commercial jasmine absolutes (grandiflorum, not sambac) may contain up to 6.8% eugenol but no or very low concentrations of isoeugenol (48). One patient was shown to have allergic cosmetic dermatitis from ‘Jasminum officinale’ in a face cream (29). Jasmine absolute was responsible for 3 out of 399 cases of cosmetic (photo)allergy where the causal allergen was identified in a study of the NACDG, USA, 1977–1983 (37).

As discussed previously under lavender, Lorig and Roberts (1990) examined CNV in humans with different essential oils. CNV amplitude was decreased with lavender but increased with jasmine, supporting its stimulatory effect. Similarly, Karamat and colleagues (1992), as previously discussed, examined actions of essential oils in humans. While lavender had depressant effects, jasmine decreased human reaction time and stimulated animal activity. Jasmine (Jasminum officinale L. Oleaceae) is widely used in aromatherapy as an antidepressant and aphrodisiac (Lawless, 1994). It is one of the most complex essential oils, with over 100 components (Lawless, 1995).

Jasmine: Jasminum officinale, known as the common jasmine or simply jasmine, is a species of flowering plant in the olive family Oleaceae. It was native to Asia: Georgia, China, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan (Al-Snafi 2018b). The methanol extract of Jasminum has anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Ethanolic extract of Jasminum sambac flowers also has anxiolytic and antidepressant activities (Al-Snafi 2018a). Researchers reported that Jasmine oil caused significant increases of breathing rate, blood oxygen saturation and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which indicated an increase of autonomic arousal (Hongratanaworakit 2010). Alavi Fili reported the significant difference between the mean duration of three-stage of childbirth (p < .001) in Jasmine aromatherapy group (Alavi Fili et al. 2017) while Kaviani et al. revealed that Jasmine aromatherapy does not have any positive effect in decreasing duration of first and second stage of labour (Kaviani et al. 2014b).
