To help determine if you or your client may have a sensitivity to
Pine oil, ask if they get any irritation from "Coast Soap" . Coast
has many of the same consituents, notably alpha-pinene and beta
pinene.

The pinenes seem pretty safe and effective to use as additions to
henna paste .... though there's some potential for skin irritation.
None of the EO's are totally without potential problems, including
eucalyptus EO. It's a new set of things to consider ...... when in
doubt, leave 'em out.
