Frequently asked questions

Is lactoperoxidase safe for baby skin?
No data showing developmental or infant‑specific toxicity from topical use. Lactoperoxidase is a high‑molecular‑weight enzyme (a glycoprotein), making systemic dermal absorption unlikely; CIR’s milk‑protein review and available literature do not indicate infant skin hazards. Therefore exposure score remains negligible for topical cosmetic use on baby skin.
