Frequently asked questions

Is cichorium intybus root oligosaccharides safe for baby skin?
No data indicating reproductive or mechanistic concerns for infant skin. As large hydrophilic oligosaccharides are poorly skin‑penetrant, adult exposure is negligible; however, due to immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight in infants 0–3 yr, a conservative small increase in exposure score is applied (adult e=0 → infant e=1) despite no evidence of harm (sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed).
