Frequently asked questions

Is cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract safe for baby skin?

Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive/toxic evidence was identified. Exposure: increase to 1 because the extract contains low‑molecular volatile constituents (cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, linalool) that are skin‑absorbed to a measurable extent and infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier, raising potential systemic exposure versus adults. Primary safety concern remains skin irritation/sensitization rather than developmental toxicity (Sources: PubChem constituent data, ECHA dossiers, EWG, CosIng).
