Frequently asked questions

Is bromelain safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive hazard data. Because bromelain is a protein enzyme with limited dermal absorption in adults, hazard and mechanism scores remain 0; exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight—this gives measurable but low exposure potential for topically applied enzyme-containing products. (Enzyme reviews; cosmetic safety/SDS information).
Is bromelain safe for newborns?
No infant-specific reproductive hazard data. Because bromelain is a protein enzyme with limited dermal absorption in adults, hazard and mechanism scores remain 0; exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight—this gives measurable but low exposure potential for topically applied enzyme-containing products. (Enzyme reviews; cosmetic safety/SDS information).
