“…Studies have shown that many essential oils could be toxic at higher doses and also cause skin irritation at higher concentrations (106). The spectrum of reported skin reactions to essential oils include allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, phototoxic reactions and contact urticaria (107). These allergic reactions arise from certain constituents, e.g., benzyl alcohol, cinnamyl alcohol, eugenol, iso-eugenol, hydroxycitronellal, geraniol, and many others.…”

Halitosis is a very common condition which may affect up to 30% of the population. In about 90% of the cases, halitosis originates in the mouth due to inadequate plaque control, periodontal disease, dry mouth, faulty restorations, and in particular due to excessive bacterial growth. Oral malodor is mainly caused by a microbial degradation of amino acids into volatile, bad-smelling gases (volatile sulfur compounds-VSCs). Management of oral malodor is directed primarily at managing and reducing the VSC-producing bacteria count as well as masking the odor. Essential oils have been used for this purpose in traditional medicine for centuries. In the present review, data on the antimicrobial activity of essential oils against relevant oral VSC-producing bacteria are compiled and compared. Additionally, other positive aspects of essential oils with regard to oral odor are considered.

Secondary metabolites are known as natural products that are used in cosmetics because of their beneficial properties, but the toxicity of some of them limits their use in personal care formulations. This chapter discusses, according to their classification, the plant secondary metabolites used in cosmetics that cause toxicity and allergic reactions in the human body. In addition, this chapter also discusses the secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms and animals that are used in cosmetic products. There are several secondary metabolites that are used in cosmetic preparations due to their beneficial properties, but when these metabolites are absorbed by the skin, they cause disruption to the skin following topical application. This chapter highlights the chemical compounds that are responsible for the toxic and allergic reactions.
