Frequently asked questions
- Is pogostemon cablin leaf oil safe for baby skin?

Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has higher permeability and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure is increased by one category versus adults; therefore exposure is moderate (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Note: essential oils can cause skin irritation/sensitisation in infants even if systemic reproductive hazard is not indicated.
