Frequently asked questions

Is pearl extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or pediatric toxicity for topical pearl extract (h=0, m=0). For exposure, adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible (e=0). Because infant skin barrier is immature and pearl extract is not absolutely non‑absorbable (organic proteins/mineral particles may have minimal percutaneous availability), exposure for 0–3 yr is increased by +1 per instructions (e=1). Sources: CosIng (INCI entries for pearl/pearl powder), PubMed (no repro/pediatric toxicity reports), ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), EWG (low hazard profile).
