Frequently asked questions
- Is malt extract safe for baby skin?

Malt extract is a high-molecular-weight, hydrophilic, food-derived mixture unlikely to penetrate intact skin appreciably; no regulatory flags for use on infant skin in CosIng or SCCS/CIR. Therefore hazard and mechanism remain 0 and exposure is assessed as negligible for topical use on babies.
