Frequently asked questions

- No data showing developmental or dermatologic harm to infants from topical sphingolipids; ceramide/sphingolipid cosmetic ingredients are used to support barrier function and are generally regarded as safe by CIR. Because infant skin has an immature barrier and sphingolipids are not completely non‑absorbable lipids, exposure score for baby skin is increased by +1 (per user rules) though hazard/mechanism evidence is absent. (CIR; PubMed; CosIng).
