Is olus oil safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating developmental or endocrine effects in infants (h=0, m=0). Exposure: because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=0 → infant e=1); Olus Oil is an emollient with measurable but low percutaneous absorption. Sources: CosIng (use as emollient), PubChem/ECHA (no repro data), general dermal absorption principles for infants.
