VeriMomIs diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific hazard data were identified. Hazard and mechanism remain 0 per absence of reproductive/endocrine findings. Because infant skin (0–3 y) has higher permeability and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 from adult e=1 to e=2 (moderate) as per instructions. Regulatory reviews note low percutaneous absorption in adults but do not show negligible absorption; therefore exposure for baby skin is non-negligible.
