Frequently asked questions

Is vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. For exposure, topical cosmetic use of a botanical fruit extract is unlikely to have high dermal systemic absorption; however, infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, so exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1) per the scoring rules. No infant-specific safety signals were identified in CosIng, PubChem or EWG.
