Frequently asked questions
- Is fucoidan safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or dermal‑specific toxicity in infants was found. Because fucoidan is a large, water‑soluble polysaccharide with likely very low dermal absorption in adults, adult exposure is negligible; however infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin even though no infant‑specific hazard or mechanism data were identified.
