Frequently asked questions
- Is althaea officinalis root safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanism data indicating developmental or reproductive effects. Topical Althaea officinalis root/extract is composed largely of high-molecular-weight mucilaginous polysaccharides (low permeation), so adult dermal absorption is negligible; however, because infant skin has higher permeability, a small increase in exposure potential is conservatively assigned (e=1) despite absence of infant-specific adverse data.
