Frequently asked questions
- Is poly(linseed oil) safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of infant‑specific reproductive hazard. Polymerized linseed oil is a high‑molecular‑weight, film‑forming oil (low dermal systemic availability); adult topical exposure is expected to be negligible. Per the scoring rules, infant exposure score is raised by +1 because baby skin has higher permeability and the ingredient has measurable but limited topical use — no infant‑specific absorption/toxicity data were found.
