Frequently asked questions

Is beetroot red safe for baby skin?

Hazard and mechanistic evidence for infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity are absent. Adult dermal absorption for a highly water‑soluble, low log Kow pigment like betanin is expected to be negligible; per scoring rules, exposure for baby skin is increased by +1 (to 1) because infant skin barrier is immature and the ingredient has measurable, though low, absorption potential. Regulatory reviews and literature note poor oral bioavailability and widespread use as a food/cosmetic colorant without developmental signals.
