Frequently asked questions
- Is myristoyl nonapeptide-3 safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or toxicity data found. Adult hazard/mechanism remain unflagged (h=0,m=0). Topical peptides are generally of low systemic absorption; however myristoyl nonapeptide‑3 is an amphiphilic peptide (myristoyl tail) that is not completely non‑absorbable — per the guidance, infant exposure score increased by +1 to account for immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio.
