Frequently asked questions
- Is pongamia pinnata seed extract safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating intrinsic reproductive or developmental toxicity to infants; therefore hazard and mechanism remain 0. Exposure score increased to 1 for babies because (a) Pongamia/karanja seed extracts are plant oil/plant‑derived extracts with constituents that can be percutaneously absorbed to some degree and (b) infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so measurable absorption is plausible even if adult absorption is low. No infant‑specific safety data or SCCS/CIR guidance was found. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed.
