Safety & Warnings
Hypericin (in St. John's Wort) has been associated with photosensitivity when taken orally, but there have not been any studies suggesting there might be a photosensitivity reaction when used on the skin. There could be increased photosensitizing properties when applied to lesional skin and in fair-skinned individuals after extended time in the sun.
There are warnings to avoid taking St. John's Wort internally, if on blood thinners. Although, there is no scientific evidence contraindicative to using St. John's Wort Infused Oil topically. Topically, the dose is a fraction of an internal dose and absorption is much different. When applying topically it is per your own discretion. If you notice any "bruise-like" areas developing when using it, then we would discontinue topical use.
Use with caution on animals as it could cause a phytotoxic reaction.
