Frequently asked questions
- Is lavandula hybrida oil safe for baby skin?
- No neonatal-specific reproductive or developmental hazard identified for lavandula hybrida oil. However, because infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-body-weight ratio and an immature barrier, measured adult dermal absorption (low) is conservatively increased by +1 for infants, yielding moderate exposure. Note: there are separate concerns for skin sensitization and irritation of essential oils in infants, but those are not reproductive mechanisms. Sources: CosIng/PubChem for ingredient composition; general dermal absorption and infant skin physiology literature summarized in PubMed reviews; ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised repro hazard).
