VeriMomIs pantethine safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific toxicity or developmental skin studies located. Hazard and mechanism scores are not increased because no infant‑specific evidence exists; however, exposure score increased (+1) because immature infant skin has higher absorption and adult topical exposure is likely to give at least low systemic availability. Thus baby exposure considered moderate (adult e=1 → baby e=2).
