Frequently asked questions

Is poria cocos extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental/infant toxicity or specific infant studies. Mechanistic data lacking. Dermal exposure for adults considered negligible for systemic reproductive hazard, but because this is a botanical extract (not an inherently non‑absorbable polymer) and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (CosIng; PubChem; general dermal absorption principles).
