Frequently asked questions

Is cinnamomum cassia oil safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard identified. Because cassia oil components are absorbable and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adult (measurable absorption in adults → low; infant exposure therefore moderate). Primary concern for infants is skin sensitization/irritation rather than reproductive toxicity.
