Frequently asked questions
- Is citrus limon peel water safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to the ingredient. Exposure: infant skin has an immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so although adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible for an aqueous peel water, exposure for babies is scored one level higher (low but measurable). If the preparation contains concentrated essential oil residues (limonene, furocoumarins), additional concerns (sensitization, phototoxicity) could apply but those are composition-dependent and not evidence of reproductive hazard.
