Frequently asked questions

Is lactobacillus/milk ferment filtrate safe for baby skin?

Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so topical exposure is more likely to result in measurable absorption than in adults; therefore exposure score increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No evidence supports increasing hazard or mechanism scores for 0–3 yr olds (sources: general dermal absorption principles, lack of ingredient-specific reproductive/toxicity data in PubMed/COSIng).
