VeriMomIs citrus aurantium dulcis oil safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants, so hazard/mechanism remain 0. Exposure increased to 1 because citrus (essential) oils contain low‑molecular lipophilic constituents (e.g., limonene) that are dermally absorbed to a measurable but low degree and infant skin has higher permeability, increasing potential exposure compared with adults.
