✦ Synopsis

SUMMARY

Allergic contact dermatitis from the topical use of essential oils is not widely recognized as an occupational hazard. Four cases of allergic contact dermatitis to essential oils occurring in three aromatherapists and one chemist with a particular interest in aromatherapy are described. All presented with predominantly hand dermatitis and demonstrated sensitization to multiple essential oils. One patient developed a recurrence of cutaneous symptoms following ingestion of lemongrass tea. Workers within this industry should be aware of the sensitization potential of these products and the risk of limiting their ability to continue employment.

Patients sensitive to phenyl salicylate (salol) were patch-tested to several aryl salicylates. The most powerful derivative was p-nitrophenyl salicylate (compound 5). This can be explained by an unusually good interaction with protein (nucleophilic substitution on the carboxyl carbon). All these res
