Frequently asked questions
- Is glycosaminoglycans safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by data. Exposure score increased by +1 for infant skin because glycosaminoglycans are large but not completely non‑absorbable and infants have a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier function — so dermal exposure is likely low but measurable compared with adults (CosIng, PubChem; general pediatric dermal exposure principles).
