Frequently asked questions
- Is sulfur safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity; hazard and mechanism remain 0. Because infant skin has higher permeability/SA:body-weight, a conservative increase in exposure score to 1 is applied despite sulfur’s generally low dermal absorption. Main regulatory concern for sulfur remains topical irritation (H315). Sources: ECHA Annex VI (H315); general product safety data from PubChem/CosIng indicating topical use and low systemic absorption.
