Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrogenated farnesene safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism evidence for developmental/reproductive effects in infants was not found. As a small, lipophilic, saturated hydrocarbon used topically, systemic absorption from normal cosmetic use is expected to be negligible in adults but infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier — therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin per your rules. No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.151.294?utm_source=openai))
