Frequently asked questions

Is cyclamen aldehyde safe for baby skin?

Hazard and mechanism scores are driven by the same animal/mechanistic evidence (suspected reproductive toxicant with a demonstrated rat metabolic pathway). Exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin (per your rubric) because topical use on infants gives higher per‑kg absorption and immature barrier — while direct infant-specific toxicology is lacking, absorption is plausibly higher than adults. No infant developmental or dermal‑transfer studies were located.
