Frequently asked questions
- Is dna safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism data were identified. Intact DNA is a very high‑molecular‑weight polymer (used as sodium DNA/PDRN preparations); dermal absorption from intact DNA in cosmetics is expected to be negligible in adults, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin per your scoring rules — this is an exposure precaution, not evidence of increased hazard. (CosIng; PubMed reviews on topical PDRN indicate local activity but not systemic reproductive toxicity).
