VeriMom¿Es petrolatum seguro para la piel del bebé?
Hazard and mechanism evidence for reproductive or developmental effects are lacking. Dermal absorption for adults is negligible, but because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier function, exposure score is increased by +1 to reflect measurable but still low potential systemic exposure; petrolatum is widely used and considered safe for infant topical use in cosmetic/medical contexts (CIR; CosIng; PubChem). Note: ECHA Annex VI includes harmonised H350 for petrolatum as defined in that entry (relating to carcinogenic hazard for certain petroleum-derived materials), which is legally binding and distinct from reproductive endpoints.
