Frequently asked questions
- Is triticum aestivum germ oil safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Dermal absorption for oils is low in adults (negligible for systemic toxicity); however, infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and immature barrier, so exposure score increased by +1 to reflect higher potential dermal uptake. Wheat germ oil is commonly used as an emollient and moisturizer (CosIng, EWG) with no infant-specific safety flags.
