Frequently asked questions
- Is aluminum dimyristate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard (h=0) and no known specific mechanism (m=0). Absorption of aluminum salts from skin is generally very low, so adult exposure scored e=0; however, because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin (e=1). No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
