Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrolyzed quinoa safe for baby skin?
- No intrinsic reproductive hazard identified. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (e=1) because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so some dermal absorption of small peptides/amino acids is plausible even though overall systemic exposure from cosmetic use is expected to be low. No infant‑specific toxicity data found.
