Expert Verdict

Tung tree extracts contain saponins and potentially toxic esters; raw tung oil is primarily an industrial product used in wood finishes and varnishes. Patch-testing and irritation studies are essential before formulation. The copolymer form with rapeseed oil demonstrates excellent skin tolerance, but crude extracts present a different risk profile.
