Frequently asked questions
- Is papaver somniferum seed extract safe for baby skin?
- No data indicate reproductive or developmental toxicity for the seed extract itself. Adult dermal systemic exposure from typical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible (e=0); however, because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, exposure rating is increased by +1 to e=1 to reflect potentially higher absorption in infants in the absence of infant-specific absorption data. No infant-specific hazard or mechanism evidence was found. (Sources: CosIng, PubMed, ECHA materials.)
