Green tea hydrosol does not present any contraindications. It can be used by pregnant and/or breastfeeding women, as well as children. However, green tea water can be allergenic. To do this, before any skin application and thus avoid any risk of allergy, test it in the crook of your elbow. If there is no abnormal reaction within 24 hours of the test, the hydrosol can then be applied to a larger area of the body, otherwise avoid any skin application.
