Frequently asked questions
- Is lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental/infant toxicity reported (h=0, m=0). Topical absorption from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible for the adult population (e=0), but because this is a biological/low-molecular-weight mixture from fermentation and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure for 0–3 yr is increased modestly (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant-specific adverse data found.
