Frequently asked questions
- Is bakuchiol safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazard data and no harmonised classification indicating reproductive risk. However, infant/toddler skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface‑area:weight); therefore exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No data justify increasing hazard or mechanism scores. Sources: PubMed (topical absorption literature), PubChem GHS, CosIng.
