Frequently asked questions
- Is perfluorohexane safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard in humans or animals. For exposure, adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible due to rapid evaporation; however immature infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score increased by +1 to reflect low but measurable potential exposure despite rapid evaporation. No infant‑specific toxicity data located. (Sources: PubChem physical/ADME summaries, ECHA registration notes; absence of SCCS/CIR/Babyskin studies.)
