Safety Information: Tisserand and Young do not indicate any known hazards for Ginger Oil. Some sources do indicate that Ginger Oil is phototoxic. However, Tisserand and Young state that “Low-level phototoxic effects reported for ginger oil are not considered significant (Opdyke 1974 p. 910-902).” Reading Tisserand and Young’s full profile is recommended.
