Is escin safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazard data were identified; absent specific infant toxicity data and with measurable dermal absorption in adults, exposure rating is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin due to higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier (CosIng; PubChem; EWG). No evidence justifying higher hazard or mechanistic scores.
