Is rosa canina fruit oil safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified. Mechanistic data lacking. Because rosa canina fruit oil is a lipid-based topical ingredient with measurable dermal absorption in adults, exposure for infants (0–3 yr) is increased due to immature barrier and higher surface area:weight, so exposure rating is increased by +1 compared with adults.
