Frequently asked questions
- Is nicotinamide mononucleotide safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive or endocrine hazards identified in authoritative sources. Exposure: NMN is a small, hydrophilic NAD+ precursor (not a highly lipophilic, high-penetration molecule); dermal absorption from topical use is expected to be low in adults, but per instruction infant exposure score is increased by +1 to account for higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier, giving a low but measurable exposure for 0–3 yr skin.
