Frequently asked questions
- Is erythrulose safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive/toxic hazard to infants. Erythrulose is a small carbohydrate used topically in self‑tanning formulations and reacts largely within the stratum corneum; manufacturers/SDSs report standard toxicity testing without reproductive findings. Because topical use can lead to at least minimal skin exposure and infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-weight and less mature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin while hazard and mechanism remain 0 in absence of infant-specific adverse data.
