Frequently asked questions

Is nelumbo nucifera flower extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or toxicity data were located. As a botanical cosmetic extract composed of small-molecule constituents (flavonoids, alkaloids, etc.), dermal absorption is possible though typically low; per the scoring rules, infant exposure is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=0 -> infant e=1) because baby skin has higher permeability. No evidence was found to raise hazard or mechanism scores.
