Expert Verdict

Hybrid species (G. macrorrhizum ร— G. dalmaticum); if extract contains appreciable geraniol or linalool, EU allergen-labeling thresholds apply. Distinguish from Pelargonium graveolens (rose geranium) which is a separate genus with different phytochemistry. Tannin-rich with low systemic toxicity expected but may cause mild irritation at high concentrations; compositional GC-MS analysis recommended to rule out Annex III allergen content.
