Frequently asked questions
- Is glutathione safe for baby skin?
- There is no evidence of intrinsic developmental or reproductive toxicity for topical glutathione in infants (0–3 yr). Glutathione is a small, water‑soluble tripeptide present endogenously; I found no regulatory or peer‑reviewed studies indicating adverse effects on infant skin from cosmetic topical use. Because data on percutaneous absorption in infants are limited, exposure is considered negligible-to‑low for typical cosmetic concentrations, but infant barrier immaturity is a data gap (see Data gaps).
