Frequently asked questions
- Is macadamia integrifolia/tetraphylla seed oil safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive or endocrine hazard data found. Exposure: because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, dermal exposure is incrementally higher; for topical fixed oils this warrants an exposure score increase (+1) though overall absorption of large triglycerides is limited. Sources: CosIng/PubChem profile, EWG (cosmetic ingredient overview); absence of harmonised CLP/SCCS/CIR concerns.
