Frequently asked questions

Is allium sativum bulb extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data or regulatory flags. Because garlic extracts contain low-molecular-weight, lipophilic sulfur compounds that can be absorbed and infant skin has higher per‑kg absorption, exposure is increased by one category compared with adults (adult 1 → infant 2). Note: these extracts are known skin irritants/allergens in some individuals (EWG/CosIng reports).
