Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrolyzed corn protein safe for baby skin?
- No hazard signals for developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to hydrolyzed corn protein. Mechanistic data lacking. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (e=1) because while adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible for a peptide/protein hydrolysate, infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier, so measurable absorption cannot be fully excluded (sources: PubChem, CosIng, general toxicology principles).
