Frequently asked questions

Is algae oligosaccharides safe for baby skin?
No data indicating reproductive or developmental hazard. Dermal absorption of oligosaccharides in adults is expected to be negligible; for infants (0–3 yr) immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight justify increasing exposure score by +1 to reflect measurable but low absorption potential. No infant-specific toxicity data identified in regulatory sources. (Sources: CosIng/CIR absence; general toxicokinetic rationale from PubChem/CosIng class info)
