VeriMomIs lauroyl lysine safe for baby skin?
No specific developmental/toxicity data for infants; no hazard flags. Exposure score increased to 1 because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so dermal absorption is plausibly higher even though adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible (sources: CosIng, PubChem; no infant-specific studies found in PubMed).
