Frequently asked questions
- Is palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental signals documented. Exposure: peptides are large molecules with low dermal penetration, so adult exposure judged negligible (e=0). Per instructions, because the ingredient is not absolutely non‑absorbable and the palmitoyl group confers some lipophilicity, infant exposure is increased by +1 (e=1) to account for immature skin and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight.
