Frequently asked questions

Is sapindus trifoliatus fruit extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive/developmental toxicity data found. Mechanistic data do not indicate infant-specific hazards. Because infants (0–3 yr) have a more permeable skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). Potential for local irritation exists for saponin-containing extracts, but no evidence of systemic developmental toxicity. Sources: PubMed, CosIng, ECHA, EWG.
