Frequently asked questions
- Is caprylhydroxamic acid safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity; no mechanistic data indicating reproductive/endocrine effects. Because dermal absorption from topical use is plausible (adult exposure scored 1) and infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier, higher SA:BW), exposure is increased by +1 for babies (resulting in e=2). Sources: ECHA (no harmonised classification), PubChem, CosIng, PubMed (no infant‑specific studies).
