Frequently asked questions

Is rubus caesius fruit extract safe for baby skin?

No evidence of infant-specific reproductive/developmental toxicity or mechanism. However, infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, so exposure is increased relative to adults even when adult dermal absorption is expected to be low; therefore exposure is increased to 1 for 0–3 yr. No regulatory flags (ECHA Annex VI, CosIng) or published infant-specific safety concerns were identified.
