Frequently asked questions
- Is triticum vulgare/aestivum grain extract safe for baby skin?
- No data indicate reproductive or developmental toxicity from topical wheat grain extract, so hazard and mechanism remain 0 (sources: CIR, PubMed). Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, exposure score is increased by one (adult e considered negligible but not absolutely non‑absorbable), yielding e=1. Note: topical wheat proteins can be allergenic/sensitising in predisposed individuals (atopic infants), but this is a skin‑sensitisation/allergy concern rather than documented reproductive toxicity (sources: PubMed, EWG).
