Is polyurethane-1 safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism remain unreported (no data). Exposure is scored +1 versus adult because baby skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and an immature barrier; although polyurethane‑1 is expected to have negligible absorption in adults, some low but measurable exposure cannot be excluded for infants using leave‑on products.
