Frequently asked questions
- Is arctium lappa root powder safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanism evidence specific to infants was found (h=0, m=0). Exposure score raised to e=1 for baby skin because the ingredient is a botanical powder (not intrinsically chemically non‑absorbable); although particulate botanical powders have negligible systemic absorption on intact skin, infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, so a small increase in potential exposure is prudent.
