VeriMomIs glycine max oil safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or endocrine hazard data for the oil and no regulatory reproductive flags (h=0, m=0). Exposure: increase by +1 because infant skin has higher permeability and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so measurable absorption is more likely than in adults (adult e=0 → infant e=1). Cosmetic-grade soybean oil itself is commonly used as an emollient in products for infants and is generally considered low risk by regulatory/industry reviews.
