Frequently asked questions

Is c10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters safe for baby skin?
No reproductive/toxicologic signals specific to infants. However, infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier—so exposure rating is increased by +1 relative to adult. While adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for large sterol esters, measurable exposure in infants cannot be excluded; there are no infant-specific studies (sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed).
