Frequently asked questions
- Is santalum album extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific developmental or reproductive toxicity data identified and no harmonised hazard classifications. However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight ratio; given that sandalwood extract contains low‑molecular-weight lipophilic terpenoids with measurable dermal absorption in adults, increase exposure score by +1 for 0–3 yr (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Note: sensitization (contact allergy) is a separate issue but not a reproductive hazard. Sources: PubMed, PubChem, CosIng, ECHA Annex VI, EWG.
