VeriMomIs glyceryl linoleate safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of infant-specific reproductive/toxic mechanism. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is considered negligible in CIR, so adult e=0 by default; per your scoring rules, infant exposure gets a +1 because baby skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier so measurable absorption (if any) presents relatively higher exposure—therefore baby e=1. No infant‑specific adverse data found. (CIR safety assessment; product/INCI listings).
