Frequently asked questions
- Is pelargonium graveolens flower water safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or endocrine activity specific to the hydrosol. Exposure: while adult dermal systemic absorption from an aqueous hydrosol is negligible (adult e=0), infant skin has increased permeability and surface-area-to-weight, so exposure scoring is increased by +1 (e=1) per the scoring rules. Note: concentrated geranium essential oil components can be skin sensitizers, but the hydrosol contains much lower concentrations; if formulations include essential oil or isolates (geraniol, citronellol), those require separate evaluation (sources: EWG notes on geranium/essential oil allergenicity; CosIng; PubChem).
