Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium saccharin safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard data and no mechanistic concern identified in ECHA/CIR/PubChem. Exposure: adult dermal absorption from cosmetic use is negligible (e=0), but immature infant skin increases exposure potential, so exposure score raised by +1 to e=1 (low but measurable). There is no evidence to increase h or m for infants.
