Is a natural ingredient really natural? ...

Natural also doesn't mean non-allergic. As a matter of fact, certain natural or botanical ingredients are some of the worst offenders when it comes to causing allergic reactions. If you have sensitive skin, try to spot the word "hypoallergenic" to lessen the chances of developing a skin irritation. If you're not certain, it's a good idea to first test a small area on your skin.
