Frequently asked questions

Is yogurt safe for baby skin?
No intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard identified (h=0,m=0). For exposure, adult dermal absorption from yogurt-containing topical products is expected to be negligible (large proteins, lipids), but infant skin has higher permeability; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 (e=1) relative to adults in absence of data demonstrating zero absorption.
Is yogurt safe for newborns?
