Frequently asked questions

Is inula helenium extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard in regulatory sources; however, topical botanical extracts can be percutaneously absorbed to some extent. Adult exposure scored e=0 by default; for infant (0–3 yr) skin the exposure score is increased by +1 to e=1 to account for the immature skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio (consistent with the scoring rules). No infant-specific hazard or mechanistic data were found.
