Frequently asked questions

Is oryzanol safe for baby skin?

There is no evidence of infant‑specific reproductive toxicity or known mechanisms of developmental toxicity for γ‑oryzanol. Because γ‑oryzanol is lipophilic and used topically (found in cosmetic formulations including sunscreens/skin care), dermal absorption is likely low but measurable in adults — infant skin has higher absorption per body weight, so exposure is increased by one category for 0–3‑year skin. No authoritative guidance I could find restricts topical cosmetic use in infants based on reproductive/developmental hazard.
