Frequently asked questions

Is gossypium herbaceum safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity was identified. However, because infant skin has higher permeability, absorption potential is greater than for adults; given topical plant extracts are not completely non‑absorbable, exposure score increased by +1 for babies (CosIng, general dermal absorption principles). No infant‑specific adverse data were found in PubMed or regulatory dossiers.
