Frequently asked questions
- Is nasturtium officinale extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data were found for the extract. Adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible for a botanical extract used cosmetically (no ECHA harmonised flags or CIR/SCCS restrictions). Per the scoring rules, because adult exposure is scored 0 but the ingredient is not known to be completely non-absorbable, baby exposure is increased by +1 to account for immature skin and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio; hazard and mechanism remain 0 in absence of specific evidence.
