Frequently asked questions
- Is paullinia cupana fruit extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard for the extract in cosmetics. Because baby skin (0–3 y) has a higher surface-area-to-body-weight and less mature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults to reflect potentially greater, though still likely low, percutaneous uptake of constituents (e.g., caffeine) from topical products. No infant-specific studies were identified.
