Frequently asked questions

Is propolis wax safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific reproductive toxicity. Absorption from a waxy topical material is expected to be low in adults (hence no adult exposure score), but infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, so exposure score increased by +1 to reflect low but measurable potential absorption; no infant-specific adverse data were identified.
