Is ipomoea batatas root extract safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity data were identified. While no hazards or mechanisms were found (h=0,m=0), immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight make low but measurable percutaneous uptake plausible for plant extracts; therefore exposure is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin compared with adults. No infant‑specific adverse evidence was found.
