Frequently asked questions
- Is salix nigra bark extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicology data were located. The parent safety assessment (CIR) did not identify reproductive hazards and did not require infant-specific restrictions; however, infant (0–3 yr) skin has higher permeability and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure from topical products is increased (+1 exposure per your rules). There is no direct evidence that topical willow bark extracts at typical cosmetic use concentrations produce systemic salicylate levels in infants, but infants with immature barriers or products applied over large areas would have higher exposure.
