VeriMomIs artemisia princeps leaf extract safe for baby skin?
No specific infant reproductive/toxicity data found and no regulatory reproductive classification. Given limited dermal absorption data for the extract, adult topical exposure is considered negligible, but immature infant skin has higher absorption potential; therefore exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin even though no hazard or mechanism evidence exists. Also note higher irritation/allergy risk for infants from botanical extracts though not a reproductive hazard. (Sources: PubMed, CosIng, EWG.)
