Frequently asked questions

Is lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. However, immature infant skin has higher permeability; in absence of specific dermal absorption studies for this ferment extract, exposure for 0–3 yr is rated as low but measurable (adult exposure assumed negligible for typical cosmetic use, infant exposure increased by one level per the scoring rules). Note also that citrus peel can contain phototoxic constituents (e.g., furanocoumarins) in some lemon preparations, but no specific data were found for this fermented extract to indicate phototoxic/repro effects.
