Frequently asked questions
- Is gamma-undecalactone safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/dermal toxicity data were found. Mechanistic or hazard evidence is absent (h=0,m=0) but dermal absorption is measurable for a small, lipophilic lactone used as a fragrance/flavouring (physicochemical data on PubChem/ECHA), so exposure for infants is increased relative to adults — exposure score raised to 1 for baby skin per your instructions.
