Frequently asked questions
- Is geranium maculatum oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicology data found; ingredient is not flagged as a reproductive toxicant. Because essential oils are lipophilic and infant skin has higher absorption (CosIng, general dermal pharmacokinetics principles), exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults resulting in moderate exposure potential for 0–3 yr via topical application. Sensitization/allergenicity of some geranium constituents (e.g., geraniol, citronellol) is documented elsewhere but does not constitute reproductive hazard.
