Frequently asked questions

Is persea gratissima wax safe for baby skin?
No specific infant toxicity or developmental data found. Waxes from Persea gratissima are large, lipophilic constituents with very low dermal penetration; therefore exposure to infant skin from usual cosmetic applications is expected to be negligible. I did not increase exposure scoring for infants because the ingredient is not known to be measurably absorbed (sources: PubChem, CosIng, PubMed review absence).
