Frequently asked questions
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data were identified for the extract. Per instructions, exposure for 0–3 yr skin is increased by +1 relative to adults because of immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight; thus e=2. Note: the extract can contain known skin sensitisers (e.g., citral) which are relevant for irritation/sensitisation in infants but were not scored here for reproductive hazard. Sources consulted: PubMed, CosIng, EWG, PubChem.
