Frequently asked questions
- Is genipa americana fruit extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or systemic toxicity data were identified. Because the extract contains low‑molecular‑weight constituents (geniposide/genipin) that can be absorbed and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure was increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No evidence was found that justifies increasing hazard or mechanism scores. Sources: PubMed (no infant toxicity data), CosIng/PubChem (constituent information), ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification).
