Is cinnamal safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or mechanistic hazards identified. However, because cinnamal is a known skin sensitiser and small/partly absorbable fragrance ingredient, per scoring rules exposure for baby skin is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2) due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight; note known contact allergy risk separate from reproductive hazard (sources: ECHA Annex VI, CIR, EWG).
