Frequently asked questions

Is methyl morpholine oxide safe for baby skin?

Hazard remains driven by harmonised H361f → h=2. Mechanistic evidence is lacking (m=1). Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 compared with adult (adult e=1 → baby e=2) where measurable dermal absorption is plausible. No infant‑specific toxicity or exposure studies were found.
