Frequently asked questions
- Is quercus robur wood extract safe for baby skin?
- No reproductive hazard identified (h=0) and no mechanism indicating developmental/infant-specific effect. Dermal absorption of high-molecular-weight tannins is expected to be low for adults, but infant skin barrier immaturity may increase exposure; therefore exposure (e) increased by +1 for babies per the protocol. No infant-specific toxicity data were found in PubMed/CosIng/EWG to justify increasing h or m.
