Frequently asked questions
- Is elaeis fruit oil safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no specific infant reproductive or developmental hazard identified. Exposure: because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, a small increase in potential dermal absorption is plausible versus adults, so exposure score raised by +1 though overall systemic bioavailability from topical triglyceride oils is low. (Sources: CIR; CosIng/PubChem ingredient data; general pediatric skin physiology literature in PubMed).
