VeriMomIs simmondsia chinensis leaf extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of intrinsic reproductive hazard or mechanism (h=0,m=0). Dermal exposure for cosmetics is expected to be low in adults; however, infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight ratio, so exposure score is increased by +1 to reflect greater potential absorption for 0–3 yr olds despite lack of specific infant absorption data (CosIng, CIR, general dermal physiology literature cited in safety reviews).
