Frequently asked questions
- Is isopropyl alcohol safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard evidence (h=0, m=0). Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, dermal exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). This reflects higher potential for percutaneous uptake in 0–3 yr skin, though no infant safety signals are reported in regulatory sources.
- Is isopropyl alcohol safe for newborns?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard evidence (h=0, m=0).
