Frequently asked questions
- Is rhus semialata gall extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of infant-specific reproductive or mechanistic hazard. Dermal absorption of large polyphenolic tannins (the main constituents of gall extracts) is expected to be low in adults (so adult exposure scored 0), but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 for babies (0→1). No infant-specific adverse data found.
