Frequently asked questions
- Is subtilisin safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity. Exposure: subtilisin is a large protease (protein) with very limited dermal absorption expected for adults (so adult e=0), but because infant skin has an immature barrier the exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin per your scoring rules (adult 0 → baby 1); regulatory dossiers emphasize inhalation/respiratory sensitisation risk rather than dermal systemic toxicity.
