Frequently asked questions
- Is natamycin safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental or infant toxicity found; mechanistic concerns are not reported. Because natamycin is a relatively large, poorly skin‑penetrant molecule with low adult dermal absorption, adult exposure score is negligible, but immature infant skin can increase absorption so exposure for 0–3 yr is scored as low but measurable (+1) (sources: PubMed on natamycin pharmacokinetics/dermal absorption characteristics, CosIng/ECHA listings).
- Is natamycin safe for newborns?
- No specific developmental or infant toxicity found; mechanistic concerns are not reported. Because natamycin is a relatively large, poorly skin‑penetrant molecule with low adult dermal absorption, adult exposure score is negligible, but immature infant skin can increase absorption so exposure for 0–3 yr is scored as low but measurable (+1) (sources: PubMed on natamycin pharmacokinetics/dermal absorption characteristics, CosIng/ECHA listings).
