Oils and allergies

[Loolee]

What oils are known to be allergenic to some people? I only know of two... castor oil, and lanolin.

Are there any others?

Almond oil, avocado oil, or any other nut oil. I've been hearing a lot of people allergic to coconut lately. I've had one person tell me they're allergic to olive. Shea butter/shea oil is a pretty well known allergen. Aloe's becoming a much more known allergen. For people with gluten allergies, Vitamin E could potentially be an allergen.

In reality any oil could be a possible allergen.

Thanks for the info Genny! I just recently found out that I have allergies to corn, wheat, pecans & several species of trees. I've been trying to eliminate the food products from my diet but I never considered the fact that I'd have to eliminate certain oils/butters too! Lol, guess I was too busy mourning over the fact that I have to give up my favorite carbs (pasta, bread, doughnuts, etc)!
