Is coumarin safe for baby skin?

No infant‑specific reproductive hazard data or harmonised classification. However, because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, dermal exposure is increased compared with adults; thus exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No evidence supports increasing hazard or mechanism scores for infants.
