Frequently asked questions
- Is mannitol safe for baby skin?
- No hazard evidence for infants; mechanism none identified. Dermal absorption of mannitol is expected to be very low due to its hydrophilicity and use as a humectant; however, because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and a less mature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 versus adults (negligible → low measurable). No infant-specific adverse data found.
