Frequently asked questions
- Is hydroxylated lecithin safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard in authoritative reviews (CIR) or harmonised classification. Topical absorption of large phospholipids is expected to be negligible in adults, but because infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (from negligible to low/measurable). No infant-specific toxicity data were found. (CIR; COSING listing; EWG).
