Irritants
Fragrant component of lavender and coriander that can be a potent skin irritant, allergen, or sensitizer once it is exposed to air (Sources: Contact Dermatitis, January 2008, pages 9-14; May 2002, pages 267–272, and June 2005, pages 320–328). Current research indicates that this component of lavender can be cytotoxic (meaning toxic to skin cells) (Source: Cell Proliferation, June 2004, pages 221-229).
