VeriMomIs valine safe for baby skin?
No hazard or mechanism evidence for developmental effects in infants. However, infant skin has higher permeability/SA:body‑weight so exposure is increased compared with adults — assigned exposure score +1 (adult e=0 → baby e=1) though overall concern remains low for a simple amino acid applied topically (sources: general dermal absorption principles, CosIng, PubChem).
