Frequently asked questions

Is threonine safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity (h=0, m=0). Threonine is a small, water‑soluble amino acid (low lipophilicity) so dermal systemic uptake from cosmetics is expected to be negligible in adults. Because infant skin has higher absorption potential, exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin to e=1 to reflect low but measurable potential absorption; no infant‑specific hazard data were found.
Is threonine safe for newborns?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity (h=0, m=0). Threonine is a small, water‑soluble amino acid (low lipophilicity) so dermal systemic uptake from cosmetics is expected to be negligible in adults. Because infant skin has higher absorption potential, exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin to e=1 to reflect low but measurable potential absorption; no infant‑specific hazard data were found.
