Frequently asked questions
- Is collagen extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of hazard or mechanism specific to infants. Collagen is a high-molecular-weight protein with negligible dermal penetration in adults, so intrinsic hazard is not indicated (CIR, PubMed). Per exposure guidance, infant skin has higher absorption potential than adult skin; although collagen is unlikely to be absorbed, a precautionary exposure score of 1 is applied for 0–3 yr due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight.
