Frequently asked questions
- Is hinokitiol safe for baby skin?
- No specific infant developmental or dermal toxicity data were identified. Following the scoring rules, adult exposure was scored e=0 but hinokitiol is a low‑molecular‑weight, moderately bioactive ingredient (literature reports cellular activity), so infant skin exposure was increased by +1 to e=1 to reflect higher skin permeability/SA:BW in 0–3 yr olds; hazard and mechanism remain 0 absent infant‑specific adverse data.
