Frequently asked questions
- Is cymbopogon nardus oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or systemic toxicity data identified and no harmonised hazard classification; however, infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight ratio, so exposure from topical application is increased (adult exposure rating 1 +1 for infant = 2). Note: essential oils can be irritant or sensitising in infants even if not reproductive toxicants. Sources: CIR, ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng, EWG.
