Frequently asked questions
- Is cymbopogon schoenanthus oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data were identified. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). There is no direct evidence to raise hazard (h) or mechanism (m) scores; however, essential oils can be irritant or sensitizing in young children, so topical use on babies should be cautious or avoided.
