VeriMomIs chamomilla recutita flower oil safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data indicating hazard for the oil. However, infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight); therefore exposure score increased by +1 versus adult (low→moderate). Note: allergic/contact sensitization risks of chamomile (sesquiterpene lactones) are reported in the literature but are not reproductive hazards. (Sources: CIR, PubMed, CosIng, ECHA).
