Frequently asked questions
- Is dioscorea oppositifolia root extract safe for baby skin?
- There is no evidence of infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity in authoritative sources for this extract (h=0). Mechanistic/theoretical concerns about steroidal saponins remain (m=1) but are not demonstrated in vivo. Because infant skin has higher per-body-weight absorption, exposure is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2), making dermal exposure potentially more relevant for 0–3 yr olds.
