Frequently asked questions
- Is capsicum annuum fruit extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxic mechanism identified. However, because capsaicinoids are skin irritants and infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure potential is increased for 0–3 yr old skin compared with adults; measurable dermal absorption in adults warrants increasing the exposure score for infants (sources: PubMed on dermal absorption/irritation of capsaicinoids, CosIng, EWG).
