Frequently asked questions
- Is titanium dioxide safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating titanium dioxide is a reproductive hazard for infants; mechanism of reproductive toxicity is not identified. Dermal absorption in adults is negligible, but because particulate/inorganic ingredients are not absolutely non‑absorbable and infant skin barrier is immature, exposure score is increased by +1 (measurable but low potential) — SCCS and peer‑review literature note limited nanoparticle follicular/near‑surface localization but no established systemic uptake or developmental effects from topical use.
