What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

max_dermal_pct 100 is the archive's unrestricted-oil convention based on Lotus Garden Botanicals' live product-page statement 'Contraindications: None known' rather than a separately published numeric leave-on ceiling or IFRA certificate.
A species-specific public safety monograph beyond qualitative cineole child cautions was not located in this pass. The blocking source type is a directly readable safety monograph or supplier technical profile that states broader contraindications or adult dermal guidance for this species.
