Frequently asked questions
- Is calendula officinalis flower extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive/developmental hazard specific to infants; hazard and mechanism remain 0. Exposure score increased to 1 because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, and botanical extracts are not completely non‑absorbable—so measurable but low absorption is plausible with topical use. Sources: PubMed topical studies, CosIng, ECHA registration info (no harmonised repro classification).
