Frequently asked questions

Is levan safe for baby skin?
Hazard/mechanism: no infant‑specific toxicity data found. Exposure: adult topical absorption is negligible, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier, I increase exposure by +1 per your rule (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No studies show increased dermal penetration or infant harm. (Health Canada/CosIng entry; EWG; MSDS/product datasheets).
