Frequently asked questions
- Is stearoyl inulin safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/toxicology evidence was found (h=0,m=0). Exposure: because infant skin (0–3 yrs) has an immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adult for a topically applied ingredient with measurable (even if low) potential for absorption (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant studies showing harm were located in the literature or CIR review.
