==Special Precautions of Amyris==
* Amyris essential oil is generally safe to use. It is considered to be non-toxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. However, it may cause irritation for those with sensitive skin.
* Amyris oil is not intended for oral ingestion.
* Before using it topically, I recommend conducting a skin patch test first to know if you have any irritations to it. Always dilute it with a carrier oil.
* See Precautions [[Aromatherapy]].
