Frequently asked questions
- Is bee venom safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity data or regulatory bans were identified. Because bee venom contains bioactive peptides (e.g., melittin) that can act on membranes and topical products have produced local and occasional systemic effects in adults, measurable absorption is plausible; per instructions increase exposure by +1 for 0–3‑year skin, giving e=2. Allergic/irritant risk for infants is a practical concern. Sources: CosIng (INCI entry), review articles on bee‑venom topical effects, EWG hazard summary.
