Frequently asked questions
- Is zingiber officinale water safe for baby skin?
- No evidence for reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infant skin. Dermal exposure from a cosmetic aqueous plant extract is expected to have low systemic absorption in adults (e=0), but infant/0–3 yr skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin. No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism data were found to raise h or m.
