VeriMomIs sodium gluconate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to infants. Mechanistic data are lacking. Dermal absorption from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible in adults (water‑soluble, low systemic toxicity), but per guidance infant skin has higher relative absorption; therefore exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin. No infant‑specific toxicokinetic or dermal penetration studies were identified.
