Frequently asked questions

Is mangifera indica (mango) extact safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. However, infant skin has higher absorption potential; although adult topical absorption for mango extract is considered negligible, precautionary exposure scoring increases exposure for babies by +1 per the scoring rules. Note: mango components can be skin sensitizers in some individuals (contact dermatitis from urushiol-like compounds in peel is known), but this is a dermal sensitization issue, not a developmental/reproductive hazard. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed; clinical literature on mango contact dermatitis).
