Frequently asked questions
- Is phytic acid safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by data (no reproductive or developmental toxicity signals). Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (e=1) because although adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for this polar, high‑MW molecule, infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier which can modestly increase absorption compared with adults (CosIng/ECHA/PubChem; no infant‑specific toxicity found in PubMed).
