Frequently asked questions
- Is camellia sinensis seed oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific toxicology or developmental signals were identified (no harmonised CLP, no CIR or SCCS warnings; PubMed search yields no relevant developmental toxicity). Because camellia seed oil is an oil emollient with at least low dermal uptake in adults, infant exposure is increased by one step due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, giving moderate exposure (e=2). No data were found showing increased hazard or a mechanistic reproductive effect in infants.
