Frequently asked questions

Is punica granatum pericarp extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental toxicity in humans or harmonised classification. Mechanistic in vitro data (ER-modulation by pomegranate polyphenols) are relevant but do not demonstrate infant-specific harm. For infant (0–3 yr) skin, absorption can be higher than adults; therefore exposure is increased by one category compared with adults when measurable absorption cannot be excluded.
