Frequently asked questions
- Is superoxide dismutase safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard in regulators or literature. Adult topical dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for a large protein enzyme, but infant skin has higher permeability — so exposure is increased relative to adults (scored +1 for exposure per guidance). No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
- Is superoxide dismutase safe for newborns?

No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
