Skin conditions are an increasing health concern, both in medical dermatology and therapeutic cosmetics. These disorders require treatments that meet several demands: therapeutic efficacy, local tolerance, and the ability to reach the deep layers of the epidermis without damaging the skin barrier. In this context, plant-derived essential oils (EOs) are regaining attention due to their rich and multifunctional pharmacological profile. Numerous studies have highlighted their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and healing properties, making EOs promising candidates for managing skin disorders.
