Frequently asked questions
- Is rosmarinus officinalis leaf powder safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicologic hazards identified for the powdered leaf itself (h/m = 0). However, because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑mass, a small increase in exposure score is applied (e = 1) relative to adults — i.e., low but measurable exposure is possible with topical use. This does not reflect evidence of infant harm but an exposure precaution. Note: individual rosemary constituents (e.g., camphor in some rosemary oils/extracts) can be of toxicologic concern if present at appreciable levels; those are different preparations and would require separate assessment.
