Frequently asked questions
- Is avena sativa kernel flour safe for baby skin?
- Hazard/mode-of-action evidence for reproductive or developmental toxicity is absent (h=0,m=0). Topical exposure for infants should consider higher exposure (immature barrier, higher surface-area-to-weight): adult exposure considered negligible for systemic uptake in cosmetics, so infant exposure is increased by +1 per your scoring rules (e=1). Colloidal oatmeal/avena sativa kernel flour is widely used in baby products and clinical studies show low irritation/sensitization rates when non‑sensitizing formulations are used, but rare contact allergy is reported. (CIR; PMC clinical review).
