Frequently asked questions

Is hippophae rhamnoides oil safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or toxicity signals found in regulatory databases or peer‑reviewed literature. Because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and a less mature barrier, measurable adult dermal absorption (see above) is increased for babies, so exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No evidence was found to raise hazard or mechanism scores for 0–3‑year skin use. Sources: PubMed, CosIng, PubChem, ECHA Annex VI, EWG.
