Frequently asked questions

Is corylus avellana seed oil safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental toxicity or infant-specific hazards. For baby skin (0–3 yr) the exposure score is increased by +1 vs adult because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight ratio; fixed oils have measurable dermal absorption, so exposure = 2 (moderate). Note: potential for nut-protein allergenicity on skin exists (hazelnut allergen concerns) but this is an immunologic/allergy issue rather than reproductive. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, EWG, peer-reviewed allergen literature context (general knowledge).
