Frequently asked questions

However, because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, dermal exposure is scored higher (exposure +1) versus adults for topically applied extracts. Note: this assumes typical cosmetic topical use and no concentrated toxin/impurity in the extract.
