Frequently asked questions
- Is fructan safe for baby skin?
- Fructans/inulin are high‑molecular‑weight hydrophilic polysaccharides with negligible dermal penetration in adults and are not flagged as reproductive/toxicants. Although infant skin has higher permeability, available information does not indicate measurable systemic absorption from topical cosmetic use; therefore exposure is considered negligible for infant topical use absent specific data.
