Frequently asked questions

Is hydrolyzed collagen safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or toxicity signals. However, because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, dermal exposure score is increased by +1 versus adults to e=1 (low but measurable). There is no evidence to increase hazard or mechanism scores for infants.
