Frequently asked questions
- Is acetylated lanolin safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive hazard or mechanistic reproductive activity. Dermally applied lanolin derivatives are generally considered safe by CIR, but infant skin has higher absorption potential; therefore exposure (e) is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr compared with adult topical use despite no specific toxicokinetic data showing systemic uptake in infants. Reports note occasional contact allergy in sensitive individuals. (CIR; Canada NHPID; EWG).
