Frequently asked questions
- Is ozokerite safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific hazards or reproductive mechanism data located. Exposure: ozokerite is a largely insoluble, high‑molecular‑weight hydrocarbon wax with negligible dermal absorption in adults per safety summaries, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, a small increase in exposure rating (+1) is applied for baby skin (0–3 yr). CIR treatment as safe for topical use supports low absorption under normal use.
