Is this geranium oil safe — what does the SDS/MSDS say?
TPS-RO-011 geranium oil is a low-hazard natural substance, but it is a concentrated, fragrance-active oil: the Safety Data Sheet (SDS, Chinese GB version and English GHS version) treats it as a skin sensitiser and aquatic hazard, not as a drinking or neat-skin product.
