Frequently asked questions
- Is citrullus lanatus seed extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic reproductive/toxic hazard for infants. Adult dermal hazard/exposure is negligible based on ingredient class and lack of regulatory flags; however, because this is an extract containing relatively low‑molecular‑weight lipids and sterols (not completely non‑absorbable), exposure scoring is increased by +1 for infants to reflect higher per‑kg exposure and immature barrier (consistent with scoring rules). No infant‑specific adverse data were identified.
