Frequently asked questions
- Is mannan safe for baby skin?
- CIR and related reviews indicate mannans are large polysaccharides unlikely to penetrate intact skin. Because evidence shows very low dermal absorption for these high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharides, exposure to infants (0–3 yr) from topical cosmetic application is expected to be negligible; no infant-specific hazards were identified. (Per instructions, baby exposure was not increased because the ingredient is effectively non‑absorbable.)

(Per instructions, baby exposure was not increased because the ingredient is effectively non‑absorbable.)
