Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium (astrocaryum vulgare/euterpe oleraceae/palm) fruit/(astrocaryum vulgare/palm) kernel/(astrocaryum murumuru/babassu/bertholletia excelsa/carapa guianensis/cocoa/fevillea trilobata/passiflora edulis/theobroma grandiflorum) seedate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: increased dermal exposure score (+1) is applied because infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and less mature barrier, so measurable absorption of fatty acid salts is more likely than zero even though systemic hazard is not indicated.
