Frequently asked questions
- Is silk safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unreported for infants. Exposure score increased by +1 relative to adults because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, making low but measurable percutaneous exposure possible for proteinaceous ingredients used topically. No infant-specific toxicity or developmental effects were identified in available sources.
