Frequently asked questions
- Is tetrapeptide-26 safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanistic reproductive/endocrine concerns identified. Exposure score increased to 1 for baby skin (vs adult 0) because baby/infant skin has an immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio; while tetrapeptides are generally of low permeability, measurable percutaneous absorption cannot be excluded for infants, so exposure is considered low but non‑negligible. No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
