Frequently asked questions
- Is helianthus annuus seed safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazards reported and no mechanistic evidence of reproductive/endocrine toxicity (h=0, m=0). However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, so exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). Sunflower seed oil is commonly used in infant products and authoritative lists do not flag reproductive/neonatal concerns.
