The verdict
Soothing reputation but a known sensitiser — caution.
What it is
A flower extract used for bruises/soothing.
Traditionally used for bruising and soreness, but arnica is a known contact sensitiser (sesquiterpene lactones) and can cause allergic dermatitis in some. A reasonable caution, especially on broken skin.
