Is Flower Water Toxic? While flower water is familiar to many, today's consumers approach daily products with caution. To determine its safety, we must examine its ingredients.
Alcohol
Most manufacturers do not disclose alcohol content in their flower water products. To test flammability, I personally purchased a well-known Shanghai brand and conducted experiments. Indeed, all samples ignited easily.Therefore, those sensitive to alcohol should use with caution!
Mosquito Repellent Safety
Flower water contains mosquito repellent ingredients, either DEET or picaridin. Infants under 2 months old should avoid using such products!
Menthol and Borneol
Besides the cooling sensation from alcohol evaporation, ingredients like menthol and borneol in flower water also provide a refreshing feeling.These ingredients are present in low concentrations in flower water and generally do not cause adverse reactions when applied to the skin. However, consumers allergic to fragrances should still avoid direct contact. Overall, flower water is very safe for daily use, with only extremely rare allergic reactions reported. Diluted use for infants and young children also poses no harm.
