Frequently asked questions

Is hydrolyzed rhodophyceae extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or mechanistic reproductive hazard (h=0, m=0). Topical absorption for intact botanical hydrolysates is generally low (adult e scored 0), but because hydrolyzed algae yields smaller peptides/oligomers and infants have a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier, exposure for babies is increased by one level to e=1 (low but measurable). No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
