Frequently asked questions

Is lactobacillus/acerola cherry ferment safe for baby skin?
No data indicating reproductive or mechanistic hazard for infants. Dermal absorption from complex botanical/microbial ferments is expected to be low for adults (e=0); because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and a less mature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (e=1). No infant-specific adverse reports located in PubMed or regulatory databases. Sources: PubMed (topical probiotic/ferment safety), CosIng, ECHA (no harmonised CLP).
