Frequently asked questions
- Is p-anisic acid safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data were identified. Adult hazard and mechanism default to 0. Because p-anisic acid is a small, low‑molecular‑weight aromatic acid likely to have at least low dermal absorption (PubChem/ECHA physico‑chemical profiles) and infant skin has higher absorption per body weight, exposure score for babies (0–3 yr) is increased by +1 to reflect higher potential dermal uptake; no infant-specific hazard or mechanism data were found.
