Frequently asked questions
- Is arginine/lysine polypeptide safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicology or developmental effects reported. Given the peptide nature (water‑soluble, likely high molecular weight/charged), dermal absorption is expected to be negligible; therefore exposure for 0–3 yr skin is scored as negligible (CosIng, PubChem). Per instructions, exposure was not increased because absorption appears minimal and no data indicate measurable systemic uptake in adults.
- Is arginine/lysine polypeptide safe for newborns?
- No infant‑specific toxicology or developmental effects reported. Given the peptide nature (water‑soluble, likely high molecular weight/charged), dermal absorption is expected to be negligible; therefore exposure for 0–3 yr skin is scored as negligible (CosIng, PubChem). Per instructions, exposure was not increased because absorption appears minimal and no data indicate measurable systemic uptake in adults.
