Frequently asked questions
- Is beer extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or endocrine hazard specific to beer extract (h=0, m=0). Adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible for typical botanical extracts in rinse‑off/leave‑on cosmetics, so adult e=0. Because infant skin has higher permeability and the ingredient is a complex natural extract (not absolutely non‑absorbable), exposure for babies 0–3 y is increased by +1 per instruction, yielding e=1 (CosIng absence; general dermal absorption principles).
