Frequently asked questions
- Is riboflavin safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity from riboflavin via topical routes. Dermal absorption of riboflavin is expected to be very low (water‑soluble vitamin), so adult exposure scored as negligible; per instructions, infant exposure is increased by +1 due to immature skin barrier/greater surface-area-to-weight, giving a low but measurable exposure for 0–3 yr. No infant-specific hazard or mechanism identified.
