Frequently asked questions
- Is nelumbo nucifera leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard to infants. As a botanical leaf extract (mixture of polyphenols/flavonoids and higher‑MW constituents), systemic absorption from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low in adults (hence adult exposure scored 0), but infant skin has higher permeability — therefore exposure for 0–3 yr is set one category higher (e=1) as a precaution. No infant‑specific toxicology data were located in authoritative sources.
