Frequently asked questions
- Is mentha piperita leaf water safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for the hydrolat. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (per instructions) because infant skin has higher permeability; although the hydrolat is aqueous and likely low‑absorbable, measurable absorption cannot be excluded. Note: concentrated peppermint essential oil/menthol has known respiratory/irritant concerns in young children, but this does not constitute evidence of reproductive hazard for the leaf water itself (sources: PubMed literature on menthol effects, EWG, CosIng, PubChem).
