Frequently asked questions
- Is citrus nobilis (mandarin orange) peel oil safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of infant‑specific reproductive toxicity. However, infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier, higher surface‑area‑to‑weight), so exposure score increased by +1 versus adult. Also citrus essential oils can be dermal irritants or sensitizers in some individuals (not a reproductive mechanism). Sources: CIR general safety conclusions for citrus oils, CosIng/PubChem composition data, ECHA (absence of harmonised repro classification).
